No. He went around the country saying we were addicted to oil and the way to fix it was cut taxes and regulations. Oh, and spend more on education and research. I should blank the name and play "Who said this?"

Bush has plan to end oil 'addiction'
Here we have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world," the former oil executive said.
"Tonight, I announce the Advanced Energy Initiative -- a 22 percent increase in clean energy research at the Department of Energy, to push for breakthroughs in two vital areas," Bush said. "To change how we power our homes and offices, we will invest more in zero-emission, coal-fired plants; revolutionary solar and wind technologies; and clean, safe nuclear energy.
"We will increase our research in better batteries for hybrid and electric cars, and in pollution-free cars that run on hydrogen. We will also fund additional research in cutting-edge methods of producing ethanol, not just from corn but from wood chips, stalks,or switch grass."
To produce the technicians that might bolster such energy research, Bush also called for a federal education initiative "to double the federal commitment to the most critical basic research programs in the physical sciences over the next 10 years."
