Big Oil stands by Bush plan for drilling

Can someone tell this guy to go Cheney himself? Of course, Big Oil is hardly more popular than Bush and we already know that nothing will get in the way of their drilling projects whether its war or the environment. If only they would stop drilling a hole in the pockets of consumers.

“It’s an American problem,” said John Hoffmeister, president of Shell Oil, “adding that the powers that be in Washington need to “quit the rhetoric and get on to solutions.”
Right, and Shell is not an American company. Shell is a European oil company who has a very different agenda from the citizens of the US. I'm sick and tired of Big Oil deciding what is in the best interest of the US or Europe or any other country. Remember how GM used to play that game? How'd that all work out? Instead of throwing more money at oil we ought to be investing in alternative energies. Promoting more oil based solutions is great business for Big Oil but at this time it's quite clear what's good for Big Oil is not good for America.
