What a waste of an hour
There is no longer a free press.

Anyone have email addresses of the pathetic pieces of human trash who asked the scripted questions to Bushy.

1. THAT was not an energy policy speech
now THIS was an energy policy speech. Jimmy Carter delivered this televised speech on April 18, 1977.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/carter/filmmore/ps_energy.html

"But we do have a choice about how we will spend the next few years. Each American uses the energy equivalent of 60 barrels of oil per person each year. Ours is the most wasteful nation on earth. We waste more energy than we import. With about the same standard of living, we use twice as much energy per person as do other countries like Germany, Japan and Sweden.

One choice is to continue doing what we have been doing before. We can drift along for a few more years.

Our consumption of oil would keep going up every year. Our cars would continue to be too large and inefficient. Three-quarters of them would continue to carry only one person -- the driver -- while our public transportation system continues to decline. We can delay insulating our houses, and they will continue to lose about 50 percent of their heat in waste."
