Oil-News Roundup
The WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINEMay 4, 2006Oil prices plunged more than $2 to settle at nearly $72 a barrel Wednesday on the New York Mercantile Exchange after the U.S. government reported the first weekly increase in gasoline inventories in more than two months. Here is today's well of news about oil and fuel prices.
NO GOUGING FOR YOU: Having abandoned a controversial effort to placate U.S. gas consumers (and voters) with a $100 gas-tax rebate, Congress turned its attention back to the oil industry, as the House approved criminal penalties and fines of up to $150 million for energy companies caught price-gouging. The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support and seems likely to be popular in the Senate, as well. But a measure that would have made it easier for oil companies to expand or build refineries failed, due to environmental concerns and fear of stepping on local governments' toes.

Filed at 10:56 p.m. ET LOS ANGELES (AP) — President Bush has called for a 75 percent reduction in Middle Eastern oil imports by 2025. But drivers trying to get a jump on that goal by avoiding certain gas stations are finding there are no guarantees they are really avoiding oil from the Persian Gulf. In fact, it's nearly impossible to determine where a particular service station gets its gasoline because crude oil that is refined into gas is traded among companies on a global market, said Jonathan Cogan, a spokesman for the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
