President Bush has paid a visit to St. Louis to address those attending the Advancing Renewable Energy Conference. In a speech to the gathering, the President warned against complacency over supporting alternative sources of energy. He says lower pump prices could convince some Americans that there’s no need to pursue alternative energy sources. Bush says that while he’s pleased with lower gas prices, America must look away from oil. The President wasn’t the only member of the First Family in St. Louis today. First Lady Laura Bush attended a tree planting in Forest Park, then headed to a fundraiser for Senator Jim Talent. Her final St. Louis event: Taking part in a ceremony to illuminate the Arch with pink floodlights in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
