Amazing that Chu was appointed as energy advisor. This admin is truly grasping at straws for 'solutions' to 'saving' the planet. Maybe the plan is to increase sales for white paint, then increase the tax on white paint to fund more ridiculous government programs. I love the "make sure to check your tire pressure before you to go to the hardware store to buy white paint". In Oregon, we are not allowed to pump our own gas (ridiculous government job creation scheme) and now they are attempting to pass a bill that will force these artificially created workers to make sure tires are inflated properly on every vehicle before leaving the gas station. People certaintly need to see through this green veil and pursue environmental policies/goals that are achievable, cost effective, and actually do something to help the environment.
