“I see the new energy plan much in the same way. For the past 20 years, America has coasted blindly into the future, naively trusting that our sufficient resources would be ready and available whenever we would need them. But we know the recent blackouts in California and serious fluctuations in the prices of gasoline have shown that our well of energy has dried up a bit. Fortunately, we have an administration before us now with President Bush and Vice President Cheney who have compiled a plan that is balanced and comprehensive, and it provides for our energy in a safe and clean manner.”
