So back to my questions:
So which part of his plan will lower the price of gas in the immediate
future? And how is his plan different from Bush's?

I don't think it's realistic to expect either president to dramatically
lower
the price of gas in the immediate future. We need long term policies so
that we
aren't held hostage by every little feifdom on the planet with an oil
well.

As far as "how does the plan differ from Bush"........

Working with Oil Producers
Bush (according to Kerry): Broke his promise to force OPEC to "open the
spigots"

Kerry : Bring a renewed American position to work with OPEC to manage supply

How does he plan to do that, hmmmmmm? I thought you guys are the ones who
keep saying that Bush has more influence with the Saudis?

Managing the Strategic Oil Reserve
Bush (according to Kerry): Unnecessarily filling, which takes oil off an
already tight market
Kerry: Manage effectively to protect supply without hurting the economy

" Using the SPR solely for political purposes to lower gasoline prices would
reduce our protection and weaken our position in that war. "--Bush


Increasing Fuel Efficiency
Bush (according to Kerry): Ignores need for increased fuel efficiency
Kerry: Set goals for increased fuel efficiency, rely on sound science

False. Bush sent his energy plan to Congress earlier this year.
The President's energy plan focuses on three top priorities:

1.. Encouraging new production, conservation, and technology like ethanol,
clean coal and hydrogen power;
2.. Modernizing and expanding the electricity grid, and passing mandatory
reliability standards so the system has adequate capacity; and,
3.. Promoting efficiency, raising fuel economy standards, and encouraging
investment in our energy infrastructure.
