Despite being the president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister does not feast on baby orphan hearts or spend his off hours harpooning domesticated puppies for sport. Even more surprising, he's an advocate for energy conservation and unconventional alternative fuel sources. Hofmeister has said, "We can by design, we can by technology, we can by choice, choose more conservative ways of using energy." Whoa! Slow down there, egghead. John Hofmeister presents "How the U.S. Can Ensure Energy Supply for the Future" noon Tuesday at the Fort Worth Club, 306 W. 7th St. Tickets are $30 for members of the World Affairs Council and $40 for non-members. Call 214-965-8412 or visit dfwworld.org.
