Bush's plan to wean US off imported oil: ambitious enough?

Right direction, say energy gurus. But some puzzle over R&D that won't cut oil demand.
More. . .

I'm surprised that no one has started this thread already.
I suppose the rabbid Bush haters don't like the fact that basically it's as I have been posting all along.
There is no real "alternative" energy.
Read the rest of the article because it tells the harsh truth.
Yes, there is lot's of worthless pork in the Bush plan, but the cruel truth is we have little choice and reality bites.
The hard truth is there is no alternative to oil.
Going to alternatives like fuel cells, or any other hydrogen based plan is stupid since it requires more energy to produce the hydrogen than what you get out. In effect making our problems worse.
The same goes for gasohol and a lot of the other crackpot ideas.
