You don’t think our energy policy under Bush and the GOP had any thing to do with it now do you
Yea, it's been the Bush administration policy to create profound increases in oil consumption by China and India. It's also been administration policy to cut off drilling and exploration in places like ANWR. Except it hasn't been.
You may make the point that Repubs haven't fought hard enough to keep the green wing of the Dem party from strangling our energy infrastructure, but it's been going on since the 70s. It's not like Bush can mandate new refineries, increased exploration and drilling, or new nuclear plants with a stroke of a pen. And razor thin Republican majorities (with squishy types like Norm Coleman in their ranks) couldn't have done it legislatively, and would have been savaged and turned our earlier for trying.
