Iran Applauds US Drivers.

[Go Eco!]

Much to the pleasant surprise of Iran, US car and truck drivers continue their perilous march toward economic, energy and climate endangerment. The Iran regime privately praised citizens of the US, for collectively importing 374 million barrels of oil in the month of June, at a cost of $25 billion, representing nearly two-thirds of total consumption (See Wall Street Journal). With 70% of imported oil going into cars and trucks - the heart of our nation's transportation system - Iran's newly 'elected' president, Ahmadinejad, expressed his country's complete and utter support for the right of all Americans to drive large SUV's, Pick-Up Trucks, and roomy Sedans.
And in related news; Iran is seeking to join hands with the USA's most influential oil industry trade group, The American Petroleum Institute, in support of a newly formed pro oil organization, Energy Citizens, as it rallies opposition (primarily with meet-ups attended by oil industry employees) against any legislation that may curtail harmful emissions or tackle the growing effects of climate change. No word yet on if Ahmadinejad plans to speak at one of the many functions planned for Houston and Washington DC.
