Saint Barack the Redeemer, 30 July 2008: "There are things you can do individually, though, to save energy. 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’d actually save just as much!"
Excuse the Gunny for a moment... "BWHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!"
Is this guy FOR REAL or did George Soros just trot him out as a JOKE!
Obambi: "But we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling.
Dear Mr Empty-Suit (and Empty Head): WRONG ANSWER!
1. North Dakota's Bakken Play is ESTIMATED at 100 BILLION barrels.
2. ANWR is ESTIMATED at around 15 BILLION barrels.
3. The Green River oil shale formation is expected to produce at least 800 BILLION barrels of oil. That field ALONE is enough to cover America's usage at current rates (20 million barrels per day), for OVER the next ONE HUNDRED YEARS!
4. Offshore drilling on both coasts and down off of Florida, where only China can drill, is also estimated to hold tens of billions of gallons of oil.
The FACT of the matter IS, is that OUR oil resources are MORE than what is in the Middle East. But thanks to the liberals, we AIN'T drilling. So, to Saint Barack's quote.
QUESTION: IF we ALL went right out and checked our tires would it produce the needed 20 MILLION barrels of oil as Saint Barack the Redeemer has stated it would?
ANSWER: H*LL NO! Proper tire inflation can also improve gas mileage by more than 3%, when maintained regularly. That is about 600K barrels or so. Well, THAT ain't working. http://www.carcare.org/tires_wheels/inflation.shtml
QUESTION: If we ALL went out and wasted money getting a tune-up, would THAT help as The Annoited One has declared?
ANSWER: H*LL NO! It's evident that the disconnect between the liberals and the REAL WORLD is the width of the Grand Canyon! Dear Annoited One, this AIN'T the 1970's and we AIN'T driving your daddy's 1974 Buick. MODERN cars require a tune-up about every 100,000 miles! That is 20% HIGHER than the old points and plugs and timing requirement of 5,000-miles twenty-five years ago.
The REAL ANSWER comes from Joe Geragthy whose calculations comes to about 330,000 barrels of oil a day at 6% (DOUBLING the realistic estimate above) but at 3%, it's a measly 100,000 barrels of oil a day.
So let's put this into context shall we? We use 20 MILLION barrels of oil a day. The Mystical Magical Negro (Newsweek) declares that by JUST pumping up our tires and tuning up our cars, we DO NOT NEED TO DRILL! The oil will magically flow from the ground, to the refinery, to the pumps!
THIS IS THE LIBERAL MANTRA! "NO WE CAN'T! NO WE WON"T! NO! NO! NO! NO!"
Folks, there is ONLY ONE answer for this CRISIS! DRILL NOW! Build NEW refineries with modern technology. Build NEW Nuclear power plants. Develop NEW technology for the future.
