Saudi oil output hike would not solve US problems: Bush
"US President George W. Bush said on Saturday that a hike in oil output by Saudi Arabia would not solve American energy problems. ......

'Our problem in America gets solved when we aggressively go for domestic exploration. Our problem in America gets solved if we expand our refining capacity, promote nuclear energy and continue our strategy for the advancing of alternative energies as well as conservation,' he said.

'One interesting thing about American politics these days is those who are screaming the loudest for increased production from Saudi Arabia are the very same people who are fighting the fiercest against domestic exploration, against the development of nuclear power and against expanding refining capacity.'"

That the energy industry and the GOP have failed to explain this simple fact to Americans is astounding!
