Va. natural gas company being sold to Shell arm
Source: Richmond Times-Dispatch

Enspire Energy, a natural gas marketing company based in Norfolk, has agreed to sell its assets to Royal Dutch Shell, Europe's largest oil company.

The sale is to be completed in the first quarter of 2009, the Shell Energy North America unit said.

"We believe it will enable Shell Energy to offer a broader portfolio of value-added services to customers in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States," said Shell Energy North America President Mark Quartermain.

Jim Lukas, president and chief executive officer of Enspire, said the sale "will help us provide an increased array of products while maintaining the superior service to which our customers are accustomed."

2. That's Right
Bush and co. have taken for granted and ignored the rural Americans, especially those in your area of concern. This deal with Shell is just giving that company, the largest oil company in the world, run by the evil Rothschild family, more control in America.

As if the 2nd largest oil empire, Standard Oil (now called Exxon / Mobil) hasn't done enough damage (Rockefeller) or the largest electric company in the world (GE - The House of MORGAN) that recently had a huge coal sludge break dump 1/2 BILLION gallons of toxic sludge in Tennessee, that has contaminated drinking water there.

Coal burning is the top source of Mercury and Arsenic in the world. There is no such thing as Clean Coal, it's not even in development, it's something they 'hope for' that they are 'working on'. But GE owns major news networks, and Rothschild owns the AP and Reuters. Forget the true news ever really being reported.

It's about time Rural America broke from the grips of the GOP that paints it as an us (white) vs. them (non-white and 'liberal'). Falsely portraying themselves as moral (between tap-tap stops in airport bathrooms) to gain allegiance with those they screw the worst of all. The Democrats aren't much better, but any improvement is worth-while.
