"Once again, the left created a problem out of thin air and gave only one solution—regulation. The left allowed no discussion of the validity of the problem and no discussion of alternative solutions."
. . . "36 years later, Barack Hussein Obama was serious when he said, “Making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much.”
"By June 30, 2008, when he made the statement, most cars no longer needed tuneups. Even Fact-Check.org gagged on that claim that inflating tires would save the world saying, “Motorists could save more than 1 billion gallons of fuel a year, right now. But expanded offshore drilling would eventually produce even more.”
"A billion gallons of gasoline requires 50 million barrels of oil.
"But horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking had by 2012 added 550 million barrels of oil a year to American production.
18 years after Obama’s lame alternative to drilling—“we can’t drill our way out’’—the state of California is about to save the world by regulating spare tires, and not the kind some of us have around our waist.
"The California Energy Commission on Monday unanimously approved a new power to regulate spare tires using a 2003 law. The commission claims without independent verification that its Replacement Tire Efficiency Program will save Californians $1 billion a year on gasoline.
"(In snobby British accent) they spend $58 billion a year on petrol.
"The commission could save Californians $8 billion a year by eliminating gasoline taxes but then the state would have to cut back on handouts to the homeless and the illegal aliens that give it extra congressmen and extra federal funding.
"Regulating replacement tires would impose new costs. The commission says the costs will be but $1.50 a tire. OK, $6.50 tops." . . . More...
