So here we are. Another day, another reminder that Shell remains a gold-standard sin stock — greed-fueled, PR-polished, and morally bankrupt, backed by some of the world’s biggest investors who talk green while banking on black gold.
Well, well, well. Who could’ve possibly guessed that Shell — the benevolent guardian of our planet’s fossil-fueled future — has once again decided that renewable energy just isn’t oily enough?
In an absolutely shocking (read: entirely predictable) move, Shell announced it’s ditching its solar and onshore wind power generation projects in Brazil. Why? Because apparently, saving the planet is just not generating the same kind of “sufficient returns” as, say, torching it for profit.
Shell’s Jungle Cat Pounces: 370 Million Barrels of Oil, and a Big Middle Finger to the Climate. 
Ah, Shell and ExxonMobil—the undisputed kings of environmental devastation—are back at it again!

Because, apparently, nothing says “we care about the planet” like an oil giant boasting about squeezing a few more drops of ethanol out of sugarcane while continuing to plunder the earth’s resources.

The case is the latest attempt by local communities to seek compensation from large commodities companies in European courts after the UK Supreme Court on Friday allowed Nigerian residents to sue Royal Dutch Shell (RDS) in England over years of oil spills. “This is, sadly, yet another case of a giant corporation that is more than happy to exploit the natural riches of an area but has had little consideration for those who live in it…
