Bush Energy Plan No Solution

Friends of the Earth criticizes President Bush's energy plan, stating it would increase oil imports by 85% over 20 years and fails to address fuel efficiency or renewable energy. The organization opposes the plan's focus on nuclear power and the expedited siting of liquefied natural gas terminals.

• Friends of the Earth asserts that President Bush's energy plan fails to lower gasoline prices or achieve energy independence. The organization notes that the administration's own Energy Department found that oil imports would increase by 85 percent over a 20-year period under the proposed plan.
• The document claims the energy plan omits critical solutions, specifically failing to require increased fuel efficiency for cars or a mandate to increase energy production from renewable sources.
• Friends of the Earth criticizes the plan for proposing taxpayer funding for the nuclear power industry despite the lack of safe radioactive waste disposal, and for attempting to accelerate the siting of liquefied natural gas terminals by bypassing state and local concerns regarding terrorist threats.
