The tiny staff of the Bush administration's Energy Development Task Force is led by two former aides to Senator Frank H. Murkowski, the Alaska Republican who is the chairman of the Senate Energy Committee. The aides jokingly call themselves the Alaska jihad. On the eve of the release of the 170- page report, the broad outlines are fairly well known. The plan encourages the production of oil, gas, coal and nuclear power and calls for some tax credits for renewable energy resources and a push for conservation.
