Energy Crisis
Bush Advisers on Energy Report Ties to Industry
By JOSEPH KAHN
At least three top White House advisers involved in drafting President
Bush's energy strategy held stock in the Enron Corporation or earned fees
from the large Texas-based energy trading company, which lobbied
aggressively to shape the administration's approach to energy issues.
Bush Task Force on Energy Worked in Mysterious Ways
May 16, 2001
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE
Most of Washington has remained in the dark about how the Bush administration's Energy Development Task
Force operated, which arguments it embraced and how it reached decisions on some of the nation's thorniest
energy issues.
In the Race to Produce More Power, States Are Faced With Environmental Trade offs.
March 26, 2001
By MICHAEL JANOFSKY
Buckeye, Ariz., is near ground zero in the nation's race to create more energy and the debate over the
environmental trade offs that come with it. The U.S. Secretary of Energy, Spencer Abraham, calls President
Bush's National Energy Plan (released May 2001) "an historic first step to addressing long-neglected energy
challenges." Here is the full text of this major report which has triggered national debate about the nation's
future energy course. The report is presented on the U.S. Dept. of Energy's web site and is broken into key
sections.
President Bush's National Energy Plan places a high priority on increased production of oil, coal, gas, and
nuclear energy, with less emphasis on conservation and alternative fuels. Janet Ginsburg, a contributing
reporter for BusinessWeek, offers a critique of the assumptions and budget numbers that form the underlying
basis of the report and presents what she considers a missing perspective on alternatives.
For more on the Bush Administration's position on energy and its new energy plan, read FRONTLINE
correspondent Lowell Bergman's interview with Vice President Cheney.
FRONTLINE's report, "Blackout," includes interviews that explore the perspectives of several CEOs from
traditional energy companies and utilities. To learn more about the potential for alternative energy and
efficiency, FRONTLINE asked Janet Ginsburg to conduct email interviews with some leading experts from the
solar, wind, and distributive power industry: Richard DeBlasio, director of the Distributed Energy Resources
Center at the Dept. of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory; James Dehlsen, chairman and CEO
and Dr. Geoffrey Dean, Director of Technology of Clipper Windpower; and David Clark, chief scientist at BP
Solarex.
We the people of the United states need much more than what our president is doing to take care of the
energy crisis. The first thing Mr. Bush needs to do to fix this problem is as follows:
1. Honesty with the American people.
2. Stop trying to make his friends wealthier
3. Develop a conscience in fair business.
4. Let the people of this Nation be first Priority
5. Admit to the people, there is no shortage of Natural Gas.
6. There is no shortage in Oil.
7. There is no shortage in Liquid Gas
8. Admit to himself he is no financial wizard. If he was he would not have filed bankruptcy.
If he develop those eight steps, I know without a shadow of a doubt he will have better success in helping
the people of this Nation.
