Yes inflating your tires properly will reduce your gas consumption.
No, that is not the entirety of Obama's energy plan.
Yes, if oil companies drill new wells off the coast of America there will be more oil eventually.
No, that is not the entirety of McCain's energy plan.
But this is the part the Main Stream Media is not covering:
Just because the wells are on or near America, does not make that American oil.
The oil will belong to the oil corporations, Exxon, Mobile, etc..
The MSM and the Republicans act like all that oil will be American oil, that it will cut down American dependence on foreign oil.
But they are not talking about nationalizing the oil companies (that would be political suicide for a Republican).
All the oil taken out of the ground or the sea bed by the oil companies goes on the global oil market. Exxon can and will sell that oil to the Chinese or the Indians or the Russians. The new oil will only effect America as much as it effects the global oil market (which won't be much of an impact).
So properly inflating American tires will make a difference for American energy consumption.
Drilling new wells offshore will add a tiny amount of oil to the global oil market.
So which candidate has American interests in mind?
And which candidate has oil company interests in mind?
And who do the MSM corporations have in mind?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
