Huh?

Senator Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind) wrote BusinessWeek's IdeasOutsideShot article in last week's issue on the topic of George Bush and his recent comment that “America is addicted to oil.” In it he describes the necessity for the next few Presidents to be committed to the cause of reducing America's dependance on oil because “most of the world's oil is concentrated in places either hostile to U.S. interests or vulnerable to political upheaval or terrorism.” There's no mention in the article resembling anything even slightly environmental...I know, the global warming thing has yet to be proven...same with the smoking/cancer connection). The article isn't [all] bad but the part that confused me came at the very end when Senator Lugar writes:

“That's why I hope we will look back on President Bush's declaration about oil addiction as a seminal moment in U.S. history. Like President Richard M. Nixon using his anticommunist credentials to open up China, President Bush could use his standing as an oilman to lend special power to his advocacy of renewable energy.”

Huh?
