Governor Schwarzenegger says people who think offshore oil drilling will bring down gas prices are just “blowing smoke”.
Some analysts say Schwarzenegger’s comment was being directed towards Republican Presidential nominee John McCain and possible running mate Florida Governor Charlie Crist.
The California Governor also criticized U-S energy consumers for not using enough renewable energy.
Schwarzenegger wants 33 percent of all California electricity to come from renewable sources—the state currently gets 12 percent.
Schwarzenegger also wants to add seven Million more hybrid vehicles by 2020.
Schwarzenegger and Crist did agree on one thing that the everyday driver needs to do more for the environment—drive slower, keep engines tuned, and tires properly inflated.
