The Bush administration's new energy plan to reduce gasoline demand by 20 percent could have an unintended side effect.
Linda Adams, California's Environmental Protection Agency secretary, says it could increase greenhouse gas emissions.
It's the latest shot at the Bush administration by the governor and his administration over global warming.
The president's outlined his plan yesterday in his state of the union address. He proposes to increase the amount of alternative fuel refiners must blend with gasoline over the next 10 years.
But California officials say the federal government's definition of alternative fuel encompasses ways that burn fossil fuels or turn coal into liquid. Such actions release the carbons that are blamed for global warming.
The White House did not immediately return a call today from The Associated Press seeking comment.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Damned if you do - damned if you don't. Nothing will ever be a good idea if a Republican first suggests it.
LOL! I posted mine without seeing yours first!
That's OK, if they bitch and complain long enough eventually no one will bother listening to them anymore.
San Andreas where are you? anytime now would be fine.

The Fed and State(s) govts will also lose 20% of their current tax revenue collected from gasoline sales.
The one law that even Congre$$ and the states can't do anything about is the law of Unintended Consequences.
I am just so sick of their crap. It never ends. It is like that damn bunny that just keeps on going and going.

leaded gas
R-12 refridgerants
coal powerplants
nuke powerplants
