Close-up petrol tank\u003cbr/\u003eAmerican motorists reacted with interest, but scepticism on Wednesday, to US President George Bush's energy plan that targets their gas-guzzling habits.\u003cbr/\u003ePresident Bush, hoping for momentum from his State of the Union address, warned that the nation's reliance on oil poses a national security threat.\u003cbr/\u003eAt DC's car show in Washington on Wednesday, visitors were treated to visions of fuel efficient cars of many makes.\u003cbr/\u003eMany agreed that fuel efficiency was desirable, but felt that American consumers might have to be forced to make changes to their fuel consumption.\u003cbr/\u003ePresident Bush campaigned on Wednesday in Delaware on his energy plan.\u003cbr/\u003eIn a speech to employees of Dupont, one of the largest researchers of alternative fuels in the US, Bush said: \"You don't want your president sitting in the Oval Office worried about the activities of a hostile regime that can have all kinds of impacts on our security, starting with economic security.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe president said, \"dependence on oil, as well, means that if a terrorist were able to destroy infrastructure somewhere else in the world it's going to affect what you pay at the gasoline pump.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBush's new energy initiative calls for reducing gasoline consumption by up to 20 percent over 10 years by increasing alternative fuels and raising fuel economy standards for cars.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Delaware, Bush toured the DuPont Experimental Station to tout to its research on cellulosic ethanol, one of the main fuels Bush backs as an alternative to oil.\u003cbr/\u003eHe took a hands-on approach as scientists walked him through the process of converting raw materials to fermentable sugars to fuel. \u003cbr/\u003eBush picked up bottles of milled corn stover, poked his fingers into a beaker of wood chips and picked up a handful of switchgrass.\u003cbr/\u003e\"What our citizens got to know is that because of the research you're doing here, with some of their taxpayers' money to help you, that switchgrass .... could end up being the fuel that powers their automobiles,\" Bush said in the DuPont greenhouse. \"That's important.\"\u003cbr/\u003eDuPont is leading a science-based consortium that is researching how to break down entire corn plants, including the stalk and leaves, into biofuels, such as cellulosic ethanol.\u003cbr/\u003eBush has rejected requiring automakers to boost the fuel economy of their new car fleets, and he continues to oppose mandatory reductions of so-called \"greenhouse\" gases.\u003cbr/\u003eWith Democrats running Congress and his own popularity slumping, Bush had to offer a modest agenda in his State of the Union speech. \u003cbr/\u003eHis energy plan, along with a health insurance programme, were the signature items.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking from the New York Mercantile Exchange, Ira Eckstein, from the oil-trading firm Area International Trading Corporation, said many of the points in the President's speech had been made before.\u003cbr/\u003eEckstein said fuel efficiency was not likely to affect the markets anytime soon.\u003cbr/\u003eMore politically aware petrol consumers in Washington, DC watched President Bush's speech on Tuesday night - and had mixed reactions.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile some were pleased that President Bush had proposed any plan to deal with oil dependency, others said it should have been planned and acted upon years ago.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
