Bush on the environment: Too little, too late?

In his State of the Union Address last evening, George W. Bush called for increasing our supply of renewable and alternative fuels. This is a noble goal, and an important step towards environmental responsibility, but it's not enough.

Bush continues to ignore the need for mandatory caps on industrial air emissions. To crack down on corporate pollutors would be to inconvenience his base.

Keeping his rich CEO buddies happy is apparently more important to George W. Bush than the air his grandchildren will breath.
