Energy solutions to the Right.
April 14th, 2008 by Wiley CodyInteresting. Very interesting, indeed.
If Americans turn to the right, can it solve the energy crisis?
If motorists make only right-hand turns, it seems, they can save a lot of energy.
When UPS rearranged its routes to eliminate as many left-hand turns as possible for delivery drivers, the company saved 3 million gallons of fuel by trimming 30 million miles last year, according to Parade magazine.
Think of the savings if we all go right.
Added to the energy efficiency of right turns (not as much gas is burned because we’re not idling in turn lanes) is the safety factor.
Some traffic-safety experts recommend that motorists go out of their way to make right-hand turns, since left turns across oncoming traffic are also more dangerous.
So why do the Democrats keep pulling our energy policies to the left? Looks like the Left is wrong… again.
