I think that it is a good idea that Bush is pushing us off of a fossil-fuel based economy, but I think the change should be more aggressive, putting more money into research of new car engines and fuels and research into viable commercial fusion reactors, and for the present, the building of more nuclear fission powerplants. I mean, think of it this way: the less we use fossil fuels, the more we can move out of all those middle eastern countries, so none of their conflicts would have to concern us through deals and treaties, and they could just go at each other without us having to go in there just to protect our interests. And there are even more benefits to “clean” power technologies, such as in the form or readily available and renewable fuel, i.e. hydrogen for fusion reactors and fuel cells.

Everyone has a different approach to this. Not everybody's approach may satisfy everyone. I'm in wait-and-see mode at the moment.

I dodn't think that what Mr. Bush has done up to this point supports that statement.

Well I think this, since its political, could easily devolve into a flame board discussion. Perhaps it would better be served there?
A pre-emptive strike. so to speak.

That's where political arguments have tended to go, yes.
