From the NY Times:

The White House pulled out all stops today to reinforce the message that, as Mr. Bush put it, the United States will be “good stewards of the environment” while also meeting ever-increasing energy needs. A White House “fact sheet” declared, for instance, that the United States has invested more than $2.5 billion in clean-coal technology since 2001, and that the administration is committed to helping to build more nuclear power plants without compromising safety.

With latest increase request, the 2008 spending on war is going to reach $190 billion. For one year. And we’re supposed to be proud of having spent $2.5 billion on clean-coal technology in the last six years?
