Bush threatens to veto the House-approved energy bill because it reduces tax breaks and corporate welfare for the energy companies. No shock here given a president who has basically governed for the energy companies, allowing them to write legislation and in large part it's why we're in Iraq in the first place. A bill comes along that stresses conservation and renewable resources at the expense of oil and gas interests and you can be sure GW is going to nix it. Had enough?
