Finally is going public with what they see coming down the path, only a couple of years after toyota doing the same. Still, don't let the PR side of this throw you, they are not putting a whole lot of stock in the fuel cell idea. Great for gov grants, but not going to do us a whole lot of good (commercial use) for at least 15 years though.
He said the nation is facing a "multi-dimensional energy crisis."
Hell, even W himself will be saying this is a couple of days.
It is too early to tell which technology holds the greatest promise to reduce reliance on oil, he said.
More of us are talking about the price and availability of fuel in the short and medium term, and the capabilities of what we expect to be commerciallized in the next few years. It really boils down to we have had it good, and we are going to have some significant economic fights over keeping what we can, and pushing along what we can, at macro and personal levels. The transition isn't going to pretty or pleasant, and what we will be transitioning to is very much in doubt, as many as you know. It appears at this time we will ride the gifts of oil as long as we can possibly can.
Let the backside of HP be as gentle as possible, give us time...

To W's credit... he did come into his first term saying that "What America needs to understand is that we have an energy crisis." followed by something like "conservation is good, but we darn sure could do a better job of getting more supply" followed by the now famous "we need an energy policy that encourages consumption".
So he talked about it... but, showed little leadership beyond that.
"Congress must act to pass an energy bill"... yet provided no direction on what that bill might look like.

He's certainly delivered on that last part.

here, you all can quote me: "We need a president that encourages demand destruction." _________________ UNLESS
