I dont even need to write anything, really..just read this quote from Jack Cafferty at CNN…..

“JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR: Thank you, Wolf.

Listen to this quote: ‘I think energy independence is going too far.’ You know who said that? The president of one of the big oil companies, of course. John Hofmeister, who runs Shell, a division of Royal Dutch Shell, said in a TV interview that energy independence is the wrong goal for the U.S. He thinks it’s good for international relations and for the economy to get our oil from all over the world.

His company sells a lot of oil to this country of ours. He’s promoting something that he calls energy security through energy diversity, which means combining the use of conventional oil and gas, along with alternative energy sources.

Meanwhile, government stats show 57 percent of the oil used in this country is imported. Last week, the average price of a gallon of gasoline, $2.93, up 40 percent from a year ago. Polls show most Americans blame Shell and the other oil companies for the spike in gas prices. But Hofmeister refuses to apologize for the industry’s record profits.

Here’s the question: The president of Shell Oil company says that energy independence is going too far. Do you agree?

Shell sez that Energy independence is bad for America. Why do they hate us so?”
