President Bush turned to alternative fuels, and alternative companies, to argue Friday that his goal for reining in gasoline consumption in the coming decade was realistic.
Ric Fulop, vice president of A123 Systems of Watertown, Mass., which modified the car, said a battery that would power it for about 40 miles between overnight chargings cost $10,000 and would last through 7,000 cycles of charging and discharging — “more than the life of the vehicle.”
To a repeated question as to whether he would consider one of the vehicles for his ranch in Texas, Mr. Bush simply wished the assembled reporters a good weekend and returned to the Oval Office.
Is that a good example of leadership?

The information you supplied does not relate to your question well enough.
You told us of the car, and Bush's decision not to speak openly with the press on his car choice. There's no real way of knowing whether he has considered using the car, only that he did not wish to speak to the news reporters about it.
Is that a good example of a question? No.

Was it a conference? Or was it an official announcement? There is a difference, you know.
On his topic; however, the state of Georgia has 7 construction projects for researching and developing Ethanol and Bio-Diesel, adding a 25% increase in the amount of alternative fuels being produced in the US. The more intriguing fact that comes next is, there are 70 other construction projects, similarly boosting output; therefore, making that percentage climb drastically higher. You tell me. Good policy? I think so.

You mean like Gore giving money to help stop a natural occurring greenhouse effect while taking his jet and putting more pollution into the air not to mention his family's business of growing tobacco that kills humans?

No, it is a good example of common sense. I long for the days long ago when people respected politicians rather than treated them as sport.

If he is anything like Al Gore, no.
