I think that this is a pretty good statement of reality by James Smith. He rightly places the principal responsibility with Governments (I would add to this governmental groupings like the EU). I find in revealing (and pleasingly honest) that there is only a passing mention of “Renewables” in Smith’s piece (and actually no use at all of the R word). It is a shame that Shell’s corporate advertising over the past few years has not similarly placed Renewables in their (minor) place in the Shell galaxy. This seems to be changing and Shell’s quite recent communications initiative “Eureka” is quite excellent and I commend it to anyone. (See http://tinyurl.com/yppfyl) .
