Bush to detail plan to curb US 'addiction' to foreign oil

President George W. Bush was set Monday to flesh out a plan to slash US
"addiction" to foreign oil by cutting gasoline usage by 20 percent in
the next 10 years, the White House said.
"The president will make an announcement about his directing the
administration to take action to implement his '20 in 10' plan to reduce
the nation's addiction to oil," White House spokesman Tony Snow said.

"He will announce his latest efforts to ensure that the nation is taking
aggressive steps to reduce gasoline consumption," he told reporters.

The announcement due at 1725 GMT will flesh out administrative and
regulatory steps to achieving a reduction in oil consumption, while
urging Congress to pass legislation to help meet the target, Snow said.

Bush set out the goal in his State of the Union speech in January,
seeking to slash US oil imports from the restive Middle East by
three-quarters with a view to boosting the security of the world's top
energy-consuming nation.

The US leader wants Congress to pass legislation setting fuel economy
standards that would result in quintupling the current consumption of
renewable and alternative fuels to 35 billion gallons (133 billion
liters) by 2017. Fuel economy standards will penalize low-mileage,
non-commercial vehicles such as recreational vehicles, light trucks and
SUVs. Such vehicles would pay a 25% surcharge at the pump which would go
towards subsidizing alternative energy research and development.

"It is in our vital interest to diversify America's energy supply -- and
the way forward is through technology," he said in his January speech,
warning of US vulnerability "to hostile regimes and to terrorists."
