President Bush, meanwhile, is calling on Congress to back more offshore drilling in Gustav’s aftermath. On Tuesday, Bush said the storm’s impact on oil supplies underscores the need for alternative sources of energy offshore. Bush said, “When Congress comes back, they’ve got to understand that we need more domestic energy, not less. One place to find it is offshore America, lands that have been taken off the books, so to speak, by congressional law.”
