US faces up to energy cut-backs


By Matthew Davis
BBC News, Washington

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita appear to have achieved what green campaigners and the California energy crisis of 2001 could not, namely the belated conversion of the Bush administration to energy efficiency.


Asked four years ago if Americans should change their energy-thirsty lifestyles, Vice President Dick Cheney said: "Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy."

But now, with the supply from energy producers in the Gulf of Mexico disrupted by two hurricanes in a month, the White House is changing tack.

On Monday a major campaign was launched encouraging Americans to cut energy use this winter, fronted by a cartoon mascot, Energy Hog.
