Bush Energy Plan No Solution

Friends of the Earth argues that President Bush's energy plan is a 'non-solution' that would increase oil imports by 85 percent over 20 years. The organization criticizes the plan for omitting fuel efficiency standards and renewable energy requirements while instead promoting nuclear power and the expansion of liquefied natural gas terminals.

• The Bush administration's own Energy Department found that the proposed energy plan would lead to an 85 percent increase in oil imports over a 20-year period.
• The energy plan is criticized for lacking essential components such as requirements for increased vehicle fuel efficiency and the production of more energy from renewable sources.
• The plan prioritizes taxpayer funding for the nuclear power industry despite waste disposal concerns and seeks to accelerate the siting of liquefied natural gas terminals by bypassing state and local concerns.
