Bush Energy Plan: Drilling for Investment Opportunities

LAS VEGAS -- With most of his energy plan leaked like oil from a beached tanker, President Bush is set to describe the details and rally supporters as he formally presents his proposals in St. Paul, Minn., Thursday.

While the Democrats released their "plan" Tuesday -- largely pushing conservation and price caps -- the Bush plan stands a good chance of getting a fair hearing on Capitol Hill because many Democrats are open to anything -- including increased production -- that will mean lower power and gasoline prices for their constituents. In fact, some Democrats are stealthily supporting the Bush plan, fearing that advocating conservation above all else will lead to another Carter-like party meltdown.
