Here's the problem Whitman is too green: Whitman Out of Step with White House Again (CNSNews.com) - When it comes to oil exploration in the Alaskan wilderness, "the president's position is as it always has been," a White House spokesman said Monday. President Bush supports it. "The president believes that our nation needs to develop more energy resources domestically in order to avoid worsening the current energy crisis, and toward that end, the energy proposal that will be shortly submitted from the vice president's task force will include a provision calling for the opening of a small portion of [the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge] for energy development," said Ari Fleisher Monday. His comments were intended to clear up the "confusion" surrounding Sunday's statements by EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman, who said the task force report due out next month "didn't specifically say you must drill in ANWR...We didn't recommend that to the president." Whitman gave many people the impression that President Bush was backing away from his campaign pledge to open ANWR to oil exploration. Last month, in another snafu, Whitman insisted that the Bush administration was committed to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, when President Bush had actually decided against it. cnsnews.com Fire Sends Gasoline Futures Soaring
