Bush blames India for high oil price

Reuters

West Point, Va, May 17: US President George Bush said India must develop an alternative to oil for its energy needs, saying surging demand for fuel in China and India contributed to the price increase.

The United States must help fast-growing China and India become more energy efficient, and reduce its dependence on foreign oil by finding alternative energy sources, Bush said on Monday.

"It's in our economic interest and our national interest to help countries like India and China become more efficient users of oil," Bush said at a Virginia processing plant that makes "biodiesel" fuel out of soybeans.

"That would help take the pressure off global oil supply, take the pressure off prices here at home," he said.

IMO,this all sounds noble BUT, Bush, ever the hypocrite, urges these countries to do what he has been totally unwilling to do for the US. efficiency??? we consume more oil per capita than any other nation nation BY FAR. You wanna talk about glutony.
