Ted,

Here is an article by Jimmy Carter -- an elected president -- that debunks the Bush theory that conservation does not work.

Of course Bush doesn't let any nasty facts get in the way of his theories. Conservation is for wimps and the American way of life is blessed. So God likes the Bush plan, according to Bush.

Of course the oil, gas and mining companies think Bush is pretty nifty too. For only a $100 million investment they will make Billions.

Misinformation and Scare Tactics
By Jimmy Carter
Thursday, May 17, 2001; Page A23

Official statistics published by the departments of energy and labor reveal the facts: Since I signed the final energy bills in 1980, America's gross national product has increased by 90 percent, while total energy consumption went up only 26 percent. Our emphasis on coal and other sources of energy and improved efficiency has limited petroleum consumption to an increase of only 12 percent. During this time, non-energy prices have risen 2 1/2 times as much as energy prices, and gasoline prices have actually declined by 41 percent, in real terms and even including the temporary surge in the past two years.
