It Must Be Lonely For Joe All By Himself On the Wrong Side of Another Issue

Joe Knollenberg has come out against increasing the fuel efficiency of our cars and trucks.

Let's take a look at who has come out in support of increasing the fuel efficiency of motor vehicles:

Congress
A bi-partisan movement is coalescing in Congress to preserve our National Security by becoming less dependent on foreign oil. A major component of that initiative is to reduce the quantity of gasoline burned in our cars and trucks.

Major Industry
A coalition of major industries are calling on Congress to take action to conserve fuel. These industries include Southwest Airlines, Fedex, Dow Chemical Co., and Waste Management Inc. , UPS, Goldman Sachs, and a whole host of retired military officials. They are calling their bipartisan coalition "SAFE" for Securing America's Future Energy.

The Auto Industry Itself
Even the auto executives themselves recognize that their customers want more fuel efficient vehicles. They testified to that effect in front of Congress yesterday.

According to MSNBC:

Auto executives worldwide believe sales of hybrid cars and low-cost, fuel efficient models will outpace sales of sport utility vehicles, pickups and luxury models over the next five years because of lingering concerns about fuel prices, according to an annual survey released Wednesday.

The Majority of the People of Nearly every Other Industrialized Nation
A recent international poll found that a majority believe that global warming is an important issue.

Leaders in the Republican Party
Even the leadership of his own Republican Party, George W. Bush, Arnold Schwartzenegger, etc. are now considering addressing global warming and have already indicated their support for energy conservation.

It must be lonely Over there for Joe always being on the wrong side of every issue.
