Shell Investor Day Promises to Double Down on Disaster

Comments are off for this post

Posted by John Donovan: 12 Dec 2024

Hold onto your wallets (and your lungs), because Shell—yes, that Shell, the oil-stained paragon of planetary indifference—is hosting an investor day in March. This move, helmed by their ever-diligent CEO Wael Sawan, promises to unleash a dazzling spectacle of cost cuts, greenwashing, and a strategic U-turn toward pumping more oil and gas. Because if the world is burning, Shell figures it might as well fan the flames with some premium-grade crude.

Shell: UK Court of Appeal Forces Oil Giant to Stop Hiding Behind Legal Acrobatics

Ah, Shell, the epitome of corporate virtue—if your definition of virtue involves destroying ecosystems, ruining livelihoods, and spending decades dodging responsibility like a teenager avoiding chores. In a deliciously overdue smackdown, the UK Court of Appeal just cleared the way for a 2025 trial to address the environmental apocalypse Shell has allegedly unleashed on two Nigerian communities. Shocking no one, Shell has spent the last ten years throwing every legal tantrum imaginable to avoid accountability. But now? Their legal gymnastics may finally run out of steam. read more

Here we go again—Shell Pipeline of Houston, armed with its checkbook and an uncanny ability to sidestep genuine accountability, has settled yet another environmental debacle. This time, it’s a $697,270 civil penalty slapped on by Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The charge? Oh, just the small matter of drilling fluids leaking into waterways and erosion problems during the construction of a 45-mile stretch of the Falcon pipeline. A mere five separate leaks polluted streams and wetlands, including Raccoon Creek, Mill Creek, and a couple of unnamed tributaries feeding into Potato Garden Run. Yes, that’s right—this pipeline was an environmental disaster before it even started pumping gas. read more

What happens when a corporate giant that’s been gleefully torching the planet decides to pack its bags and shack up in London? Apparently, a cozy, taxpayer-funded welcome party. Yes, you read that right: Shell, the literal embodiment of climate denial wrapped in PR spin, didn’t just waltz into the UK—it was stage-managed there by a government that treated it like royalty. A cache of emails now reveals the jaw-dropping lengths officials went to in order to kiss Shell’s, uh, fossil-fueled feet. Let’s dive in. read more

Oh, Shell plc. The oil giant whose reputation for not giving a damn precedes it. Let’s take a closer look at the ownership structure of this titan of pollution, profit, and PR spin. Spoiler alert: the little guy isn’t calling the shots here. Nope, that honor belongs to the institutional investors who hold a whopping 67% of the company. Yep, folks, Shell’s biggest cheerleaders are the mega-money managers, like BlackRock, which owns a cozy 8.3% of the pie. Isn’t it comforting to know who’s steering this climate-destroying ship? read more

Shell’s Renewable Retreat: Why Save the Planet When Profits Are This Good?

Ah, Shell — the corporate personification of “Why try when you can cash in?” Remember when they promised to save the planet? Yeah, neither do they. Turns out, pivoting to renewables isn’t nearly as lucrative as just sticking to the same old planet-choking business model. And if there’s one thing Shell and its friends at BlackRock love more than a warm, thriving planet, it’s cold, hard cash.

Profits Over Planet: The Fossil Fuel Formula

Let’s rewind to 2020, when oil prices tanked, and fossil fuel giants were scrambling like toddlers caught with crayons on the wall. With demand in free fall, companies like Shell suddenly discovered their “green hearts” and started making grandiose pledges to curb emissions and embrace renewables. But fast forward to today, and it’s clear those pledges were little more than a PR stunt. read more

Shell Can’t Even Ditch Its Dirty Nigerian Oil Fields Without Screwing Up

Oh, Shell, always finding new ways to trip over its own oily feet. This time, they’ve managed to fumble a $1.3 billion sale of their onshore oilfields in Nigeria. Yes, you heard that right. The almighty Shell, which practically wrote the book on ruthless exploitation, can’t even offload its pollution-ridden assets without causing another mess. Nigeria’s oil regulator took one look at their proposed buyer, Renaissance Group, and said, “Yeah, no thanks. These guys aren’t remotely qualified to run this operation.” read more

Former Spy Chief Joins No. 10—Still Pulling Strings with Shell’s Spooky Sidekicks at Hakluyt

In today’s edition of “What the Actual Fu**?”, Varun Chandra, the former head honcho of Hakluyt—yes, that shady spy firm founded by ex-MI6 agents—has sauntered into a cushy role as one of Keir Starmer’s senior advisers. And wouldn’t you know it, Chandra’s still got his greasy fingers in Hakluyt’s AI investment fund, which coincidentally backs several AI firms with multimillion-pound contracts, including a cozy deal with the NHS. But don’t worry, folks, no conflict of interest here! It’s all just business as usual when you’re operating in Shell’s morally bankrupt universe of corruption and cover-ups. read more

Shell’s Legacy of Greed, Death, and Destruction that Makes SPECTRE Look Like Boy Scouts

In today’s episode of “How Many More People Can Shell Kill for Profit?” we’ve got more lawsuits, more corporate greed, and the usual cocktail of death and destruction that Shell serves up with a smile. This time, it’s the North Sea’s Rosebank and Jackdaw fields, where Shell, along with its buddies Equinor and Ithaca Energy, are facing a Greenpeace judicial review for yet another scandalous environmental mess. Because if there’s one thing Shell knows how to do, it’s turn an environmental catastrophe into a line item on a balance sheet. read more

Shell Touts Biofuels in Brazil—Because Who Cares About Ethics When There’s More Money to Be Made?

Sep 25th, 2024

No comments yet

Ah, Shell. The same company that has perfected the art of environmental destruction, employee exploitation, and moral bankruptcy now wants us all to get excited about its shiny new biofuels project in Brazil. 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.

During the ROG.e conference in Rio, Shell CEO Wael Sawan proudly announced the company’s commitment to second-generation (2G) ethanol, which is made from sugarcane bagasse. According to Sawan, “the same amount of land will be able to produce 50% more ethanol.” Oh, how generous. And while they’re at it, they’ll also keep pouring money into deepwater oil and gas projects with Petrobras, because why settle for biofuels when you can still extract oil like it’s 1950? read more

Shell Hands Its €26 Billion Pension Fund to BlackRock

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

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

Sep 13th, 2024

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

Shell Sells Nigerian Assets While Locals Demand $310 Million for Ruined Land—The Same Nigeria Where Shell Spied, Armed, and Supported a Brutal Regime

In the latest episode of Shell’s Long History of Villainy, the oil giant is back in the hot seat as Nigerian communities demand $310 million in damages for, you know, destroying their land and waterways with oil spills. But this time, it’s not just about the oil spills—it’s about Shell trying to quietly sell off its Nigerian onshore assets for a cool $2.4 billion while ignoring a court order. Because, hey, what’s one more legal violation when you’ve already armed a military regime and spied on activists, right? read more

Shell Announces Dividend Payments, Because Apparently the Planet Can’t Be the Only One Getting Burned

In yet another sparkling example of Shell’s legendary generosity, the oil giant (a proud sin stock in its own right) has announced its second quarter 2024 dividend payments, converting your destruction of the planet into some cold, hard cash. So, if you’ve been stockpiling shares while Shell stockpiles carbon emissions, congratulations—you’re getting a nice chunk of change!

Announced on August 1, 2024, Shell’s board is thrilled to let shareholders know they’ll be receiving $0.344 per ordinary share. That’s right, whether you’re holding your shares in US dollars, euros, or pounds sterling, you’ll still be laughing all the way to the bank while the rest of the world gasps for air. Specifically, Shell’s kindly offering €0.3102 or 26.15p per share for those electing to take their profits in euros or pounds. Because what’s the point of environmental devastation if you can’t spread the wealth globally? read more

The most shocking fact the public might not know about Shell?

Hi, I’m Shelldon! How can I help you?

QUESTION: What’s the most shocking fact the public might not know about Shell?

One of the most shocking facts that the public might not be fully aware of is the extent of Shell’s internal communications that reveal questionable ethical considerations, particularly around significant events and environmental practices. For instance, internal emails have shown that senior executives at Shell considered exploiting the tragic events of September 11, 2001, to manipulate market perceptions about their oil and gas reserves. This sort of willingness to use a national tragedy for commercial gain is not just eyebrow-raising; it raises profound ethical questions about corporate governance and responsibility. read more

Shell’s Petrochemical Wonderland: Where Headaches and Noxious Fumes Are on the House!

…the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has received an avalanche of calls from other residents who are tired of headaches, choking fumes, and lights so bright they could signal aliens from space.

Posted by John Donovan: 7 Sept 2024

Shell is back at it again—this time, delighting the residents of Monaca, Pennsylvania, with the gift of “noxious odors” and toxic dust wafting in from their well-maintained petrochemical plant. Nothing says “neighborly” like a little ethane cracker plant next door, churning out ethylene for plastics, resins, and whatever else Shell can sell, all while making life hell for those within sniffing distance.

In a lawsuit filed by Flynn, a local resident, it seems Shell’s operation has turned the neighborhood into a dystopian nightmare of foul smells, migraine-inducing noise, and flaring lights that rival a Vegas casino—except, here, the jackpot is pollution. According to the amended 20-page complaint, Shell has been about as good at controlling emissions as they are at pretending to care about the environment. The suit claims that since the Monaca plant opened in 2019, it’s been a festival of failures, with Shell regularly releasing clouds of contaminant-laced gases into the air. Neighbors have had to suffer through “odiferous” smells so bad they make the garbage dump down the road smell like a lavender field. read more
