"We are going to play the hand we have been dealt," Bush said. "Our hope in this administration is that the economy remains robust. But should it not, we have a plan." The president-elect said that would include his tax cut, free trade, Social Security and regulatory reform. On energy, Bush said increasing U.S. production of natural gas should be a priority because there are vast untapped supplies. He said he also would seek funds for clean coal technologies to use those reserves without ruining the environment. Bush said he also would seek "a hemispheric energy policy" to make sure there are ample supplies. He said "there are some ways to move natural gas expeditiously to the market in ways that protect the environment." Bush also said international producers -- "our friends in the Middle East" -- must respect the needs of the United States and other democracies. He said he will work with OPEC nations to convince them to open up the spigots and ease price pressures..................Hey George, this is the big leagues and you better have a plan and be able to deal with OPEC or else we're all in for a big surprise.
