John Hofmeister
The former president of Shell Oil Company and veteran of multiple industries for over 35 years, Mr. Hofmeister has held key leadership positions at General Electric, Nortel and AlliedSignal (now Honeywell International).
He currently serves as Chairman of the National Urban League and is a member of the U.S. Department of Energy's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technical Advisory Committee.
Upon retirement from Shell Oil, Mr. Hofmeister founded the not-for-profit Citizens for Affordable Energy, a nationwide membership association, which promotes sound U.S. energy security solutions.
He also served as Group Human Resource Director of the Shell Group, based in The Hague, The Netherlands.
He serves as a non-executive director of Hunting PLC and on the boards of the:
Foreign Policy Association Strategic Partners, LLC Gas Technology Institute Center for Houston's Future Mr. Hofmeister is a Fellow of the National Academy of Human Resources and he serves as a Director of the Greater Houston Partnership.
I know Hoffmeister. He is a self centered egotistical a**hole.
Went to the website first and was somewhat taken aback by the reading list which included algore’s book and I’m not at all comfortable with his ideas of moving away from fossil fuels “toward an affordable, sustainable, energy future” as the cover of John’s book states.
Not having read the book, I would be interested in what those ideas entail, but probably not interested enough to buy the book as the principle alone tends to rub me wrong.
His states he believes we will substantially use coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear for the US energy needs for the rest of this century.
I don’t agree with some of John’s opinion, but he is definitely knowledgeable on the subject. He also speaks in a clear and understandable manner.
