SOTU Will Likely Cement Bushs Legacy as Worst In History

Friends of the Earth President Brent Blackwelder criticized President Bush's planned energy agenda for the State of the Union address, arguing that promoting coal, oil, and nuclear power constitutes 'false solutions' that exacerbate global warming.

• Brent Blackwelder, President of Friends of the Earth, asserts that President Bush's final-year energy agenda will likely establish his environmental legacy as the worst of any US president in history because it promotes the same dirty energy sources that caused global warming.
• Friends of the Earth identifies coal, oil, and nuclear power as 'false solutions' being offered by the president instead of bold solutions, while warning that the planet is approaching a global warming tipping point that would result in disaster.
