High gas prices are drawing politicians' attention. "Democratic proposals range from a temporary halt in shipments to it to releasing a portion of the crude" oil in the 660 million barrel U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve [3], for some price relief, Reuters reports. But George Bush told reporters [4], "We're at war. We face a tough and determined enemy on all fronts, and we must not put ourselves in a worse position in this war. And playing politics with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve would do just that." Instead, he urged Congress to pass the stalled energy bill, which activists call [5] "corporate welfare in the guise of a national energy policy." Last week, U.S. climate change negotiator Harlan Watson [6] said that the Bush administration's climate change policy was misunderestimated: "We need to get our message out better."
