To paraphrase here, he said that there is a short term situation developing with fuel and prices that could be catastrophic. Before we can rely on alternate energy to solve the long term problem we need shorter term solutions that require drilling, building refineries and nuclear energy.

Those are anything but short term. And frankly alt energy isn't short term either... but at least you get incremental improvement while the technology advances.

The greatest potential for "short term improvement" is to get inefficient SUVs off the road and replace them with current vehicles that get 3X to 5X more MPG. And no, I haven't heard that from any politician... I think they don't want to lose the "SUV vote" with the bad news.
