Do you honestly believe that he will be able to do this... Examine what you are saying for a few minutes... How many people does Shell Oil employ? How about Exxon?? Lets go a step further. How about BP... Imagine what happens if he were able to reduce the need for Gas by 25% All the middle east countries that sell fuel would be in trouble. Mexico would be in trouble. Venezuela would be in trouble. NOT just from lower sales, but from Excess of employees.
At this point a bunch of people will say that China will pick that up. NOT. The US consumes MASSIVE amounts of fuel, and if we cut it back that much its going to hurt the world.
And the snow ball effect of the Job cuts will be huge.
