WASHINGTON — Without signing on to his solutions, lawmakers on Wednesday welcomed President Bush's appeal to take up problems in energy, health insurance and immigration, seeing a prospect for common ground starkly missing when it comes to the Iraq war.

Bush tended his new domestic proposals in a trip to Delaware promoting research into ethanol production and put the government on a stricter energy diet by signing an executive order requiring federal vehicles and buildings to use more alternative fuels.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, speaking to mayors, seemed intent on out-muscling Bush on that and other domestic fronts. Without giving details, the California Democrat pledged action to achieve energy independence in 10 years and welcomed the president's words on climate change with the qualification: "We cannot afford to wait."
