Why we hate the oil companies

Straight talk from an energy insider
The author, former president of Shell Oil, is the founder of Citizens for Affordable Energy, running a campaign to change the way we look at energy. Hofmeister offers an insider's view of what's behind the energy companies and how politicians use energy misinformation, disinformation and lack of information to get and stay elected. He tackles the energy controversy head-on, without regard for political correctness and provides a new framework for solving issues and identifies solutions that will lead to a future of comfortable lifestyles, affordable and clean energy and environmental protection.
