Who'd've thought it? Bush goes green.

On the quiet -at least I don't remember seeing much about this, the Bush administration is angling for a big increase in funding that might help push the USA towards the hydrogen economy more quickly. Before the Iraq war many people were saying that the truly patriotic USAmerican thing to do would be to reduce the USA's reliance on foreign oil and so patriotism demands investment in renewables. Well, it looks like that argument may have been won, in principle. Hoorah!
