"This is a sad day. We're becoming a laughingstock of not only the nation, but of the world, and I hate that," said board member Janet Waugh, a Kansas City Democrat.

Bush will NOT learn his lesson

So after the price gouging and all after Katrina and CO. hit the US, you'd think that the government would finally come around on the idea of creating an alternative energy source for cars and transportation in general. Car companies seem to be on board, a lot of people are. But this is what Bush learned about Katrina:

President George W. Bush on Tuesday at a White House press conference urged Congress to consider the problem of U.S. energy prices, bemoaning the shortage of U.S. refineries, which he blamed for the shortfall of oil production.

"I want to make sure that Congress continues to focus on energy," Bush told reporters. "The storm created a short-term problem, and that is when you shut down refineries, it creates a bubble in the system."

The president said one of his actions in response to Hurricane Katrina's effect on U.S. refineries was to suspend "all blending rules in order to be able to more likely import foreign gasoline." Bush said this "helped make up the difference between the refinery capacity shutdown and the demands of the American people."

However, Bush said, "there is a bubble moving throughout the system." The president said that the Congress must recognize that there are "tight energy supplies…and one way to deal with tight energy supplies is to increase supply. And a good way to increase supply is to build refineries."


Of course! Build more refineries!

It's amazing that his bosses will even let him say this shit.
