Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Tom Daschle, is leading an effort to ensure that high octane, low carbon fuels are part of EPA’s midterm evaluation of the progress of federal fuel economy standards.
The former president of Shell Oil sits down with the oil-and-gas magnate T. Boone Pickens to talk about the growing demand for oil around the globe. “I would say that as the world consumes more oil,” Hofmeister said, “we’ll never have enough oil for everybody, and that we’ve got to have natural gas as a […]
John Hofmeister went on CNBC on Thursday to talk about the current and future price of oil, and he gave viewers more to think about when he elevated the discussion to include the need for alternatives to meet the world’s growing appetite for transportation fuel.

“[Americans] love oil. We love gas. We’re a mobile society. And I’m not too worried about the so-called glut because we will eventually use it up,” he said.
“Everything changes when you adopt a different approach.” Yossie Hollander, founder of Fuel Freedom Foundation, called for new solutions to tackle energy poverty at IESE in Barcelona.

Fuel Freedom Foundation policy manager Gal Sitty discussed shale gas and how it could reduce transportation costs and emissions as part of the Hudson Institute’s symposium “America’s Future Natural Gas Economy: Promoting the Next Energy Breakthrough” in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
This report includes in-depth presentations Fuel Freedom delivered last year, addressing two key areas of U.S. energy policy: The importance of oil alternatives for the nation’s economic security; and the potential for natural gas to revolutionize the U.S. transportation market.
The global oil trade is a “contrived market” not subject to the usual laws of supply and demand, and the United States has an “absolute requirement” to use alternatives if it hopes to wean itself off imported oil, former Shell Oil president John Hofmeister said during the keynote speech at the National Ethanol Conference.
