John Hofmeister, President, Shell Oil Company

John Hofmeister, President of Shell Oil Company, believes that to ensure US energy for the future, the energy industry must address the delicate balance between energy production and consumption with increased supply. This includes a full array of energy sources: conventional oil and gas—including access to resources presently off limits in offshore waters and on federal lands—as well as unconventional oil and gas requiring innovative technology. In conversation with Cliff Sloan, publisher of Slate magazine and vice president for business development and general counsel at Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive, John Hofmeister will advocate the development of clean fossil fuels, alternative and renewable energy sources, and expanded refinery capacity to broaden supply options. Hofmeister stresses that the industry must—and can, with advanced technology—conduct business in socially, economically, and environmentally responsible ways.
