Energy
Rhetoric: “Our administration … developed the first energy plan in a long period of time for this government. Now, energy means we’ve got to conserve better, and we will.” [Source: President Bush Remarks to Teamsters barbecue, 9/3/01]
Reality: The Bush energy plan ignores energy efficiency. The Bush energy plan dishes out $34 billion in tax breaks to the energy industry. 72% that goes to encourage production of fossil fuels. Only 12% goes to encourage efficiency and convservation. [Source: Citizens for Tax Justice Policy Brief, 8/17/01]
