“What I found to be conspicuously missing were a series of policy proposals that would get us from today to the long-term. If you wanted to extend the metaphor of addiction, a user or addict probably needs some long-term remediation and rehabilitation, but also, he or she will need some area of discomfort to begin the process of reducing this addiction.”
- RFF Senior Fellow Joel Darmstadter, commenting on President Bush's claim that America was “addicted to oil” on The Diane Rehm Show on February 6, 2006
