Bush: U.S. on verge of energy breakthrough
U.S. President George Bush said Monday evening that the nation is on the verge of
technological breakthroughs related to energy that would "startle" most Americans, reports the
Associated Press.
Presumably, many of these innovations would relate to the automotive sector. Bush has made it his goal to slowly wean the country off foreign oil. Meanwhile, Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., questioned Bush's energy policies Monday, saying the administration also supports subsidies for luxury SUVs. "This single tax subsidy dwarfs anything being done for hybrid batteries," Markey said in a news release.
