re: This is so typical of Bush. To take as a central example something like switchgrass, which shows real promise as an ethanol source, to give his talk credibility, and then behind the scenes cripple the possibility of it ever being used.

Yeah, I heard a radio interview with a "switchgrass expert". Pretty impressive... the stuff can be grown almost anywhere in the country, takes very little fertilizer or irrigation, is non-invasive, and he said an acre could produce $1500 worth of ethanol, which is better than any other crop (don't hold me to that as it doesn't sound right to me... maybe my ears malfunctioned).

re: Just another shell game.

The only domestic policy these guys have is to reward the corps that contribute to Republicans so that they will contribute more.
