Like any intelligent person (excluding, of course, yourself) Bush realizes that the transition to hydrogen cars, cars with windmills, cars with corn crops growing on the roof, and any other Rube Goldberg contraption the left can dream up will only occur-if successful at all-gradually over time, and only when oil becomes truly scarce. Oil is not scarce just because traitors like Kerry delay ANWAR drilling to get PR. Oil is plentiful-even outside the ME-and we will be a petroleum-based economy for the foreseeable future. Someone who represents the enemy of humanity-like the American left-would try radical strikes against the energy producers just so they can FEEL GOOD, but the real America neither wants nor approves of such out-of-the-mainstream stupidity. When Bush leaves office in 2009, the American petroleum supply will be in better shape, and from more stable and friendly sources, than it has been for over 30 years. And he will accomplish that if he has to kill every Islamic terrorist from Algeria to the Phillippines. Let's roll...

Hydrogen cars are like any other tech. If they can't survive without corporate welfare and elaborate tax schemes, they don't deserve to survive.

American Spirit, re:"It is really sad for us that Bush is president now because of his allegiance to big oil" whitehouse.gov "Now, there's a lot of obstacles that must be overcome in order to make fuel cells economically viable. And, therefore, we're promoting more research and development. In January, Secretary Abraham announced a $150 million FreedomCAR plan, focused on development of fuel cell technologies that run on hydrogen, whose only emission is water vapor. " "Imagine when that technology comes into being. Imagine how less dependent America will be on foreign sources of energy, and how more easy it'll be to clean up our air. And we've got plenty of water, and if water vapor is the product, we'll be in good shape. But we need to have a focused effort to bring fuel cells to market, and that's exactly what my administration is dedicated to do." "There's been some breakthroughs already. After all, NASA developed fuel cells to generate electricity, heat, and water in space vehicles. Businesses started using them in 1995. And that's why we are optimistic that within a reasonable period of time, that fuel-cell technology will become more widespread." "We've also, in the bill I submitted, made it clear that any good comprehensive energy plan must encourage consumption by providing over $3 billion of consumer tax credits, available for those who purchase hybrid and fuel-cell vehicles over the next 11 years. In other words, there is a role for the federal government, not only to encourage research and development, but a role to provide tax credits to enhance the marketplace."--Remarks by the President Bush (43)
