State of the Union address

quoting Pete. " Overall, on energy, I'd have to give a thumbs up from what I've heard. Technology and research is the only way".
------------------------------------------------------------------------
speaking about alternate fuels: bio-diesel wasnt even mentioned..........
which i think is PURE insanity...or BUSH personally just protecting his stock values in OIL. This country runs on deisel not gas...at least for the trains and the tr#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g industry....in fact the deisel engine was designed to do just that ....run on vegetable oils.
----------
When you compare crops for example....an acre of sunflower plants
will yield 100 gallons....but that same acre in pond scum will yield 3000 gals.--> three thousand yep... so having a big bag of scum is the answer.... i just read that in mother earth news (latest issue)

I doubt he has any concept of what he was even talking about. If he has actually had the foresight to put money towards technology for energy sources, I will give him credit for that. He did mention ethanol, but no mention of biodiesel. Other then that, I'm in Flaptail's camp.

I bet Bush thinks bio-diesel is a fuel that goes in both American cars and foreign cars!
