More on Bush's SOTU Global Warming Plans
The hot topic around here is what Bush will propose regarding climate change in his State of the Union. There have been rumors for weeks that Bush will announce something, possibly an increased commitment to the environmentally-dubious ethanol. I just wrote that with McCain an increasingly active supporter of action on global warming, the timing may be right to get a big push on the issue -- a big enough push might even give Bush something to salvage in his legacy.
CNN is now reporting that they have some details:
President Bush, in Tuesday's State of the Union address, will propose a plan to cut U.S. gasoline consumption by 20 percent while bolstering inventory in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Republican sources say.
The president's plan to cut gasoline use includes tightening fuel economy standards on automakers and relying on alternative energy sources, such as hybrid cars, the sources say.

A very expensive band-aid--and it's commonly excepted that the levels initially required by the Kyoto Protocol wouldn't halt warming or even appreciably slow it down!!!
Yeah, in other words, all the governments are corrupt, and now they're really salivating over the coming payday (there's gold in them corns stalks)--before they suddenly realize that their efforts to date have all been in vain, and now it's really time to get to work!!! (read--suckers!!!!!!!!!!)
