Dick Cheney in USA Today

On Energy & Oil: Energy plan focuses on production

Increased domestic production of crude oil.
Stepped-up construction of natural gas pipelines.
Massive expansion of the electrical power grid.
Renewed construction of nuclear, hydroelectric, oil- and coal-fired power plants.

Cheney called alternative fuels such as ethanol or solar power promising but still “years down the road.” He said the administration will push for drilling in Alaska’s ANWR. Cheney said telling Americans to do more with less is not enough. “Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy,” he said.
