   "President Bush is well on his way to being remembered as the
    leader who wasted not one but two crises: 9/11 and 4/11. The
    average price of gasoline in the U.S. last week, according to the
    Energy Information Administration, was $4.11"

   "We don't have a "gasoline price problem." We have an addiction
    problem. We are addicted to dirty fossil fuels, and this
    addiction is driving a whole set of toxic trends that are harming
    our nation and world in many different ways"

   "I understand why consumers think we have a gasoline price problem
    - because they are immediately hurt by higher gas prices and the
    pump is where most people touch our energy system. They tend not
    to see the bigger picture. But that is why you have a president
    : to explain that and lay out a response"

   "read the speech that Al Gore delivered on Thursday to the
    bipartisan Alliance for Climate Protection. Gore, the alliance's
    chairman, called for a 10-year plan - the same amount of time
    John F. Kennedy set for getting us to the moon - to shift the
    entire country to "renewable energy and truly clean, carbon-free
    sources" to power our homes, factories and even transportation"

   "It amazes me how inadequate his response has been. By hectoring
    the nation to simply drill for more oil, he has profoundly
    underestimated the challenges we face"
