In a move that surprises absolutely no one, Shell—the benevolent overlords of oil spills and carbon emissions—has decided to ghost a major offshore wind project off the coast of New Jersey. Yes, the same Shell that rakes in billions poisoning the planet has decided clean energy isn’t worth the hassle. Shocking, right?

According to Shell, they’re ditching the Atlantic Shores project due to “increased competition, delays, and a changing market.” But wait, there’s more! Spokesperson Natalie Gunnell generously added, “Naturally we also take regulatory context into consideration.” Translation: “Trump made it easier to keep drilling, so why bother saving the Earth?” read more

Shell Buys Another Fossil-Fueled Cash Machine While Pretending to Care About Decarbonization

Ah, yes, Shell—the benevolent, planet-loving, totally-not-greedy oil titan—has once again graced us with its unwavering commitment to not accelerating climate catastrophe. This time, the world’s favorite polluter has finalized its acquisition of a 609-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle gas turbine power plant in Rhode Island, because nothing screams energy transition like doubling down on fossil gas.

Shell Energy North America (SENA), a subsidiary of the oil-soaked giant, scooped up RISEC Holdings, LLC, thereby securing the plant’s two-unit gas-burning operations, which have been happily belching emissions since 2002. The plant, which serves the ISO New England market, will now conveniently feed into Shell’s existing empire of profits while the company continues its well-documented tradition of sprinkling a little greenwashing on top. read more

In the grand theater of “profit before planet,” Shell—the poster child for greed, pollution, and shameless hypocrisy—has outdone itself. Once strutting around with lofty promises of becoming a world leader in clean energy, Shell has now quietly tossed its renewable ambitions into the trash can, along with any pretense of caring about the climate crisis. Instead, it’s all about fattening profits with oil and gas, the dirtiest of dirty fuels.

Step right up, folks, and witness the miraculous transformation of Shell Plc—the fossil fuel giant with a century-long legacy of plundering the planet—into a self-proclaimed champion of clean energy and AI innovation. Yes, Shell, the company that has spilt more oil than most countries produce, now wants you to believe it’s harnessing artificial intelligence to save the world. What’s next? Big Tobacco solving lung cancer?

According to Shell’s VP of Digital Innovation, Dan Jeavons, “AI is not a silver bullet, but it is a tool that can help us accelerate energy transition and reduce CO2 emissions.” Oh, Dan, how quaint. Shell has spent decades perfecting the art of PR spin, and this is a gem: “reduce CO2 emissions” from the company that’s one of the largest carbon polluters on the planet. Bravo. read more

Shell Dumps Carbon Offsets: Because Saving the Planet Isn’t Profitable Enough

Oh, Shell, you sly devil. Once the self-proclaimed champion of greenwashing — sorry, “carbon offsets” — you’ve decided to ditch the whole charade. Turns out saving the planet doesn’t quite deliver the juicy returns you’re after. Under the enlightened leadership of CEO Wael Sawan, the oil behemoth is making its priorities crystal clear: screw nature, let’s drill for dollars. read more

Shell Wins Big: Saving the Climate One Oil Spill at a Time!

What a victory for the planet! Shell, our favorite corporate climate warrior, has scored big in Dutch court, overturning a pesky 2021 ruling that dared to order them to cut emissions by 45% by 2030. Because, honestly, who needs court-mandated carbon cuts when you’re already hard at work planning hundreds of new oil and gas projects?

The original ruling, if you can believe it, had the nerve to suggest that Shell should align with the Paris Agreement and actually reduce emissions, you know, like those climate activists keep yelling about. Friends of the Earth Netherlands even had 17,000 co-plaintiffs arguing that Shell’s relentless fossil fuel production might just be making the climate crisis worse. But Shell’s appeal argued that emissions are a political issue, not a corporate one—because apparently, “saving the planet” is above Shell’s pay grade. read more

Shell’s New CO2 Storage Facility: Because After Decades of Destroying the Planet, Now They’re Here to ‘Save’ It—LOL

Oh, look! The same oil giants who spent decades belching carbon into the atmosphere and cashing in on climate chaos now want to be the heroes. Shell, Equinor, and TotalEnergies have announced that their shiny new Norwegian CO2 storage facility is “ready to go”—as if they didn’t spend the last century fueling the problem.

From Polluters to ‘Saviors’? Sure, Why Not.

So here we are, folks. Shell, the corporate villain that’s practically synonymous with pollution, wants a round of applause for their carbon capture and storage project. Yep, Shell is apparently on a “journey” now to demonstrate that CCS (carbon capture and storage) is a “viable option to help achieve climate goals.” Viable? Shell, you’ve been actively working against climate goals for decades, and now you want credit for tossing some CO2 into a hole? Get outta here. read more

Shell Hands Its €26 Billion Pension Fund to BlackRock – Because Who Better to Handle Your Retirement Than the World’s Greediest Oil Giant and a Wall Street Vampire?

In yet another episode of Shell Plays Hot Potato with Billions, the ultimate sin stock has decided to hand over its €26 billion Dutch pension fund to none other than BlackRock, that benevolent bastion of corporate greed. Shell, the company with a glorious history of collaborating with Nazis, testing carcinogens on its own employees (because, why not?), and using its in-house spy firm, Hakluyt, to target environmentalists like Greenpeace, is now letting BlackRock manage the retirement dreams of its workers. You know, just in case their existing sins weren’t enough to leave a lasting legacy of moral bankruptcy. read more

Look who’s pulling out of yet another “green” project. Shell – that beacon of environmental virtue (LOL) – has just scrapped its plans for a hydrogen plant on Norway’s west coast. Why, you ask? Because apparently, there’s just not enough demand for “blue hydrogen.” Yes, the same Shell that’s been sucking oil out of the ground for over a century like a vampire at an all-you-can-drink blood buffet is now suddenly worried about market viability for clean energy.

Shell Whines About “Dysfunctional” Regulations Slowing Energy Transition – Because, You Know, It’s Not Like Shell’s The Reason We’re In This Mess

23 Sept 2024

Oh, the irony. Shell, that beloved beacon of environmental stewardship (cue laughter), is apparently very concerned about the “dysfunctional” rules slowing down the transition to clean energy. Yep, the same company that’s spent decades pumping out enough carbon to fuel a planet-sized barbecue now wants you to know they’re ready to dive headfirst into renewables – if only the government would stop getting in their way.

According to Cecile Wake, chairwoman of Shell Australia, the gas giant’s brave attempts to go green are being sabotaged by a “deharmonised patchwork quilt of regulations.” Ah, yes, because what’s really threatening humanity’s ability to hit climate targets is regulation – not, you know, Shell’s multi-billion dollar investments in fossil fuels. “Right now, what we have is a dysfunctional, deharmonised patchwork quilt of regulations that really make it difficult to have successful investments,” she lamented in an interview, apparently straight-faced. read more

Shell Faces a Flood of Climate Lawsuits: Is Homicide Next for the Sin Stock of the Century?

Well, well, well—if it isn’t Shell, our favorite greedy, ruthless, polluting oil giant, swimming neck-deep in climate lawsuits while pretending to care about the planet.

The courts are now one of the hottest battlegrounds in the war against planet-warming emissions, and Shell is right there in the spotlight, along with its fossil fuel cronies. At least 86 lawsuits have been filed globally against these fossil fuel dinosaurs, and guess who’s leading the pack? Yep, Shell—because being the biggest sinner in the “sin stock” hall of fame comes with perks like endless court cases!

The lawsuits against Shell aren’t just about some little spills (although they’ve left enough oil slicks to fill an ocean)—they’re about climate damage. A 2021 ruling by a Dutch court ordered Shell to reduce its emissions by 45% by 2030, which Shell, in true corporate villain fashion, promptly appealed. Why? Because making real changes would be inconvenient for Shell’s profit-driven soul. Instead, their spokeswoman offered some condescending drivel about how “smart policy from government and action from all sectors” is the way forward. Translation: “Please don’t make us actually take responsibility—we’d rather just keep paying off politicians.” read more

How BlackRock and Vanguard Gave a Big Middle Finger to Climate Action While Backing the Oil Giant’s Eco-Villainy

In the latest episode of “Let’s Pretend We Care About the Planet,” the world’s two largest money managers have decided that climate change just isn’t that big of a deal—at least not “financially material.” That’s right, folks. These titans of finance, sitting on a mountain of $10 trillion and $9 trillion respectively, have basically told the world to shove it when it comes to supporting climate resolutions.

BlackRock, that beacon of corporate responsibility, supported a whopping 20 out of 493 climate proposals this year. For those keeping score, that’s less than 4%—a steep drop from the days when they could at least pretend to care, like in 2021 when they backed nearly half of all climate resolutions. But hey, why bother saving the planet when you can continue raking in cash from sin stocks like Shell? And Vanguard? Oh, they took it up a notch by supporting exactly zero, zilch, nada, out of over 400 environmental and social proposals. Guess the idea of saving the world isn’t “financially material” enough for them either. read more

Ask Sheldon: What is the Shell connection with Legal & General?

Sheldon

Hi! How can I help you?

Guest:

What is the Shell connection with Legal & General?

Sheldon

The connection between Shell and Legal & General Investment Management Ltd (LGIM) is primarily centered around LGIM’s substantial investment in Shell, holding a 1.30% stake in the oil giant. This relationship has been marked by a delicate balancing act of influence and advocacy, especially given LGIM’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.

On one hand, LGIM engages with Shell to encourage the adoption of more rigorous ESG standards. However, this endeavor is akin to preaching about healthy eating while simultaneously indulging in a cheeseburger; Shell has historically been associated with significant environmental issues, leading to ironic contradictions in LGIM’s sustainable investment strategies. read more

Oh, just the minor detail of not having any interim emissions reduction targets for 2035—because why rush into saving the planet, right?

Shell’s Latest Masterstroke: Closing 1,000 Gas Stations to “Embrace the Future”—Aka, Screw the Planet and Pocket the Cash

In their latest act of cosmic irony, Shell has decided to close 1,000 gas stations. Yes, that’s right, the same company that’s been unapologetically fuelling climate change and decimating our planet’s future will now close a thousand of its pit stops in an effort to “reallocate resources” and “embrace” the electric vehicle (EV) era. Because, apparently, the best way to show you’re serious about EVs is to make sure drivers have a few fewer places to refuel their gas-guzzling monsters before they transition. read more
