As nationwide protests sweep the United States, the timing of a British royal visit raises quiet but serious questions.

👑 A STATE VISIT LIKE NO OTHER?

State visits are meant to project calm.

They are choreographed expressions of:

  • stability

  • continuity

  • mutual respect

Carefully timed. Carefully managed. Carefully staged.

Which is precisely why the proposed visit of King Charles III to the United States feels… different.

Not because of the King.

But because of the moment.

🪧 A COUNTRY IN PROTEST

The United States is currently witnessing nationwide protests on a scale that is difficult to ignore. read more

In 2019, beneath cathedral-high steel and the comforting perfume of hydrocarbons, Donald Trump stood before Shell’s Pennsylvania ethane cracker plant and essentially declared it the eighth wonder of the industrial world. read more

BREAKING: Oil Companies, including Shell, Lobby White House on Venezuela — Because Why Not Take the Whole Planet?

In what can only be described as the most perfectly obvious development in the history of obvious developments, major U.S. oil interests have apparently decided that nothing says “tasteful business practice” like quietly leaning on the White House about Venezuela while the world watches.

Lobbying disclosures reveal that Chevron, Shell’s U.S. arm, PBF Energy, and Phillips 66 have all been energetically encouraging the U.S. government to reshape its Venezuela “strategy” — you know, amidst the recent regime change and mild international eyebrow-raising — specifically so they can cash in on that totally stable and functioning oil economy.  read more

Shell Says Trump Tariffs Are Even More Taxing on Its Future Bets Than Its Supply Chains—Investors, Beware

Shell, Tariffs & That Unraveling Investment Climate

Shell’s President of Projects & Technology, Robin Mooldijk, recently confessed what many were thinking: the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs goes far beyond irritating supply chains—it’s messing with Shell’s appetite to invest. Global economic uncertainty, he says, is doing more damage than just higher costs. 

“The primary effect is on our supply chain. It becomes more expensive and for a company like Shell it’s something that we could actually deal with,” Mooldijk told The Economic Times. “But the bigger (effect) is even on the investments. Does it change the business climate and the supply-demand balance to the extent that—a little bit cheaper or a little bit more expensive project, doesn’t really matter—do we want to do it or not.”  read more

On Thin Ice: Every Risk, Trap, and Power Play on the Trump–Putin Flight Path to Alaska

1. Environmental & Logistical Risks

  • Severe Weather — Alaska’s late summer can still serve up high winds, turbulence, and sudden storms, which could delay or reroute flights.

  • Remote Geography — Vast stretches of wilderness make emergency landings difficult; search-and-rescue logistics are challenging.

  • Air Traffic Complexity — VIP flights mean temporary flight restrictions, but military and commercial routes could still create airspace conflicts.

2. Third-Party “Foul Play” Threats

Terrorist Targeting — Though no credible public threats are reported, high-profile political events are inherently attractive to extremist actors. read more

Exxon’s Eco-Warrior Makeover: Out-Greening Shell, the Sin Stock That Keeps on Spilling

Well, well, well. Would you look at that. ExxonMobil — yes, that Exxon — is now strutting around like Greta Thunberg in an oil-stained tuxedo, about to overtake Shell and BP in so-called “low-carbon spending.” You know, the same Exxon that used to sneer at clean energy as a “beauty contest”? Suddenly it’s front row in the pageant.

According to investment guidance from six Western oil majors, Exxon now plans to splash out $30 billion on “low emissions opportunities” by 2030. That’s up from a humble $3 billion plan in 2021. Because apparently, all it takes is a PR makeover, some hydrogen buzzwords, and a boatload of government subsidies to turn one of the planet’s biggest polluters into an environmental pioneer. read more

Shell’s Venezuelan Gas Gamble Implodes — But Don’t Worry, the Dividends Are Still Flowing!

Trump Yanks Licenses. Shell Shrugs. BlackRock Still Gets Paid. The Planet? Not So Lucky.

Just when you thought the fossil fuel absurdity couldn’t dig any deeper, the Trump Administration comes through with another shovel — this time revoking key gas project licenses for Shell, , and Chevron in Venezuelan waters.

Yes, that’s right: Shell’s dream of extracting gas from Venezuela’s Dragon field and piping it into Trinidad and Tobago’s export terminals is now on pause — or, if history teaches us anything, permanently flushed down the crude-soaked toilet of geopolitical fantasy. read more

Deep Water, Deeper Denial: Shell Touts New Oil Bonanza While Pretending It’s a Climate Solution

BREAKING: Shell has struck again — not in court, not in a human rights investigation, but 7,500 feet under the Gulf of Mexico, where the planet’s least-needed project just came online: Dover, a lovely little climate time-bomb producing up to 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Yes, Shell is back at it, extracting hydrocarbons with a smile, calling it “lower carbon” because… well, it’s not from coal, and that apparently counts for something in ESG bingo.

Shell CEO Bravely Warns That Doing More Deals Might Distract From Already Destroying the Planet Efficiently

Ah yes, Shell, the beloved oil-soaked darling of Vanguard and BlackRock, has once again graced us with its unshakable moral compass—pointing steadily toward short-term shareholder returns and long-term planetary combustion.

This week, Shell CEO Wael Sawan, live from the hallowed halls of the New York Stock Exchange (because nothing screams “saving the Earth” like ringing the bell on Wall Street), solemnly declared that while Shell is always hunting for acquisitions like a fossil-fueled velociraptor, going for a big one—say, cough, BP—might be a “distraction.” read more

Shell to Britain: “Give Us BP or We’re Moving to Wall Street”

Nothing screams patriotic corporate loyalty like threatening to ditch your home country for better tax breaks and oil-soaked handshakes in Trump’s America.

Shell — global climate villain and gold medalist in greenwashing — is once again proving that when you’re Europe’s biggest oil giant, the only thing more bloated than your balance sheet is your ego.

The company is now considering (read: publicly dangling) the idea of delisting from the London Stock Exchange and fleeing to the New York Stock Exchange, where oil executives are still treated like gods instead of environmental pariahs.

Shell CEO Wael Sawan, whose idea of energy transition is “less wind, more gas,” is apparently sick and tired of those pesky British investors not worshipping Shell’s “financial performance” — i.e. record profits extracted from the overheating planet. read more

Shell Considers Ditching London for New York

In their never-ending quest for more profit and less accountability, Shell is once again flirting with the idea of moving its stock market listing from London to New York. But don’t worry—it’s not a “live discussion” right now, according to CEO Wael Sawan. Because, you know, they’re just too busy “unleashing the full potential” of their planet-wrecking empire.

After announcing a laughable 16% drop in full-year earnings—from $28.3 billion to a measly $23.7 billion—Sawan was asked if Shell was still considering the move to the land of ExxonMobil and friends. His response? Shell is “always reviewing headquarters listings,” but hey, no need to panic yet. Priorities, people! read more

Shell Throws Offshore Wind Overboard: Because Who Needs a Planet Anyway?

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

Ah, Shell, the oil behemoth that just can’t stop outdoing itself in the race to be crowned the most unapologetically greedy, ruthlessly polluting corporation on the planet. They might be content with raking in $28.25 billion in adjusted earnings last year alone. But no, they’re also busy playing sugar daddy to a host of right-wing, anti-climate organizations.

Welcome to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where Shell’s ethane cracker plant has turned the community into a living nightmare. Residents are now basking in the glow of carcinogens and other delightful chemicals that can cause blood disorders, convulsions, and breathing problems. Some folks have even fled the area.

Well, well, well, what do we have here? Shell, the beloved corporate villain, has once again proven that it’s never too late to outdo itself in the race to the bottom. Welcome to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where Shell’s ethane cracker plant has turned the community into a living nightmare. Who could’ve guessed? Oh, wait – everyone.

What’s Happening?

In a dazzling display of corporate gaslighting, Shell promised Beaver County that its ethane cracker plant would be a magical land of employment, tax revenue, and economic bliss. So, Pennsylvania, in its infinite wisdom, handed Shell a cool $1.65 billion to set up shop. Fast forward two years, and surprise! The plant has racked up 23 violations of air quality and clean water standards, like a delinquent teenager collecting detention slips. read more

Shell CEO’s Climate Love Letter: “It’s All Good” Says the Planet’s Top Polluter

Posted by John Donovan: 4 June 2024

In a twist straight out of a dystopian satire, Shell’s CEO Wael Sawan decided to back President Biden’s climate agenda with a level of enthusiasm typically reserved for used car salesmen and snake oil peddlers.

At an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Sawan showered praise on Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure law and Inflation Reduction Act, claiming they’re “attracting a significant amount of capital in different states, whether it’s a red or blue state.” Oh, how inclusive.

“You’re creating jobs. You’re actually starting to anchor new industries. And over time, what you will do is you will create supply chains locally that are able to satisfy the demands of many of these industries,” he gushed. “That’s all good.” Yes, because nothing screams “environmental stewardship” like a fossil fuel titan suddenly championing green jobs.

This revelation comes as a shock only to those living under a rock, considering Shell’s recent break from the broader oil industry to advocate for the IRA – a law passed solely by Democrats and opposed by every single Republican. Shell, ever the opportunist, now champions clean energy portions of the law to fend off potential GOP attacks. read more
