President Bush checks out IRL car that runs on ethanol

Before President Bush took part in a panel discussion on cellulosic ethanol, he looked over an IRL car that will run on pure ethanol this season. IRL is the first race series to switch to 100 percent ethanol. Producing more alternative fuels to reduce dependency on foreign oil is a priority of Bush's current energy plan.
