I have asked around and I want to report that, for whatever reason, the idea apparently did not catch on.

Why would it work when most people are not even aware of the action plan? The boycott proponents were mostly campaigning by email in the Internet. And how many motorists have email and Internet?

"Shell has formally endorsed a financial advisor (a foreign investment bank). The DOE will have to agree. The idea is to have a mutually-acceptable party to address the issues confronting the proposed exercise," de Dios said.
