Shell: making sure your future stays as bright as their gas flares—and just as toxic.

Posted by John Donovan: 9 Sept 2024

Hold on to your gas masks, folks—Shell is back, lighting up the Queensland sky with a gas flare so bright you could probably see it from space. Apparently, Shell’s digging around in the Taroom Trough has sparked industry hopes of a brand-new gas supply that could save Australia’s east coast from impending shortages. Because, of course, when you think about solving an energy crisis, the first name that comes to mind is the greedy sin stock Shell, renowned for its commitment to burning through both fossil fuels and the planet’s future. read more

Hi, I’m Shelldon! How can I help you?

Is it true that Shell employees have been used as guinea pigs to test chemicals?

Yes, it is indeed true that employees at Shell have been used in studies related to the carcinogenic properties of certain chemicals. Specifically, there have been instances where Shell employees at the Pernis plant were monitored in a long-term study, which suggested a lower-than-expected incidence of cancer among them. This was presented in an attempt to contest claims about the dangers associated with certain pesticides, particularly the ‘drin family’ of chemicals, which included aldrin and dieldrin. read more

Hi! How can I help you?

What do you know about the history of toxic emissions at the Shell Chemical Plant, Deer Park, Texas?

Sheldon

The history of toxic emissions at the Shell Chemical facilty in Deer Park, Texas, is a colorful tale of regulatory skirmishes and environmental disputes, which could rival a soap opera for drama — if soap operas featured flaring incidents instead of love triangles.

The Deer Park Refinery, operational since 1929, has had its fair share of environmental hiccups. Over the years, the plant has been involved in numerous incidents where emissions of toxic compounds exceeded permissible limits. Notably, records have shown that on three separate occasions, Shell emitted more toxic compounds in a single day than its permits allowed in an entire year. read more

SHELL PLC – THE ULTIMATE SIN STOCK WITH A TOXIC HISTORY THAT HAS LEFT A TRAIL OF CORRUPTION, POLLUTION, DEATH, DESTRUCTION AND CHICKEN SHIT IN ITS EVIL WAKE

Posted by John Donovan: 22 Aug 2924

Ah, Shell—our favorite sin stock, always finding new and creative ways to live up to its dirty reputation. You’d think that after decades of oil spills, environmental degradation, and a legacy of ruthlessness that would make a pirate blush, they’d tone it down a notch. But no, they’ve outdone themselves this time. It turns out that their cutting-edge carbon reduction project in China wasn’t exactly reducing emissions. Instead, it was reducing clucks—because, surprise! The oilfield in question was actually a chicken farm. Yep, you heard that right. A freaking chicken farm. read more

Hi! How can I help you?

Q: Which Shell shareholders have already sold their holdings in the polluting oil giant?

Sheldon’s Answer

It appears that leading institutions and ethical funds have been quite active in selling off their shares in Shell due to growing concerns over the company’s environmental practices. Notably, Investec Henderson Crosthwaite and Morley Fund Management were two prominent fund managers that completely abandoned their Shell holdings. Their decision was influenced by significant worries regarding Shell’s handling of environmental issues, particularly in Africa and the United States, as well as the infamous scandal surrounding the recategorization of 4.47 billion barrels of reserves. read more

In yet another episode of “Corporate Greed Knows No Bounds,” Shell, that beloved beacon of environmental destruction, is at it again. This time, they’ve charmed nearly 80% of their shareholders into backing their so-called “Energy Transition Strategy.” What does this bold new plan involve, you ask? Oh, just the minor detail of not having any interim emissions reduction targets for 2035—because why rush into saving the planet, right? Instead, they’re doubling down on Liquified Natural Gas because nothing screams “green transition” like more fossil fuels. read more

Sheldon answers the question: Is Shell a sin stock?

…investing in Shell can feel a bit like signing up for a roller coaster ride through a toxic waste dump—thrilling yet morally questionable.

Question put to our resident Chatbot Sheldon on 10 Aug 2024: Is Shell a sin stock?

Answer: Ah, the euphemistically termed “sin stock.” Yes, Shell Plc is often categorized as one of those stocks, and here’s why: it’s deeply entrenched in the fossil fuel industry, which has garnered a reputation for environmental degradation, pollution, and, oh yes, contributing significantly to climate change.

As a global powerhouse in oil and gas, Shell has a record of environmental controversies and legal challenges. For instance, its operations in Nigeria have been associated with major oil spills and environmental destruction, while activists have often accused it of “greenwashing”—a fancy term for pretending to be more environmentally friendly than it actually is.

Investors looking at Shell might be drawn to its considerable dividends and revenue potential. However, this comes with a hefty ethical price tag that could make you question your life choices and investment strategies. Some firms and entities, like The Church of England Pensions Board, have even decided to disinvest from Shell due to insufficient commitment to decarbonization goals, in line with the Paris Agreement .

So, yes, investing in Shell can feel a bit like signing up for a roller coaster ride through a toxic waste dump—thrilling yet morally questionable. Investors will need to weigh the financial returns against their own ethical compass. If the world of fossil fuels and corporate shenanigans doesn’t tickle your fancy, there are plenty of other non-sin stocks you could look into—perhaps ones that don’t pollute the planet or spark outrage from climate activists. But hey, to each their own read more

BlackRock Advisors UK, a significant subsidiary within the BlackRock conglomerate, holds a notable stake in Shell Plc. This relationship is a blend of financial strategy and environmental irony, marked by BlackRock’s influence over Shell’s decisions and the inherent contradictions in their purported commitments to sustainability.

The Influence of BlackRock Advisors UK

Strategic Investment—Conflicted Commitments:

BlackRock Advisors UK manages a portion of BlackRock’s vast portfolio, and its investment in Shell reflects a strategic choice aimed at balancing risk and returns. However, this financial interest reveals a deep irony: BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, often vocal about its commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, remains heavily invested in one of the planet’s most notorious polluters. It’s a classic case of “do as I say, not as I do.” read more

The legal drama kicked off on March 21, 2007, when Fresno decided it was time to hold Shell Oil Company, Dow Chemical Company, and other defendants accountable for the mess they left in the city’s drinking water.

Posted by John Donovan 2 August 2024

In a saga that took nearly two decades to unfold, the City of Fresno has just scored $230 million from the corporate behemoth Shell Oil Company. This David-versus-Goliath victory comes from a lawsuit filed way back in 2007, proving that sometimes, the little guy can win—if they’re willing to wait 17 years.

According to Fresno’s City Attorney Office, this settlement is the largest of its kind in the nation for this particular type of environmental claim. Who knew dragging a toxic corporate giant through the mud could pay off so handsomely? read more

The Shell-Related High Court Spectacle That Puts Reality TV to Shame

In a high-stakes legal drama, a High Court judge just told Leigh Day, the law firm accused of playing fast and loose with £6 million from a Shell pollution settlement, to suck it up and get on with the show. The Nigerian claimants, reeling from Shell’s eco-destruction in the Niger Delta, argued they hadn’t received a formal heads-up about the trial date. But the judge wasn’t buying it.

Leigh Day, the firm representing the Bodo community against the oil behemoth Shell, settled for a cool £55 million in 2014 after the delightful oil spills of 2008 and 2009. £25 million was for individual claims, while £20 million was set aside for the community. The firm is accused of sneaky disbursements, diverting £6 million to an NGO and four Nigerian legal practices without a green light. read more

Posted by John Donovan: 3 July 2024

Ever since Shell announced its multibillion-dollar ethane cracker plant in Beaver Court, Pennsylvania, we’ve been watching this environmental horror show unfold.

Thanks to the Environmental Law Institute’s publication, “Ethane Trading in the Upper Ohio Valley: Potential Impacts, Regulatory Requirements, and Opportunities for Public Engagement,” we have a comprehensive rundown of the toxic cocktail Shell is generously pumping into the air. If you’ve ever wanted a full list of chemicals that sound like they belong in a supervillain’s lair, flip to pages 6 to 11. Benzene, toluene, and ethylbenzene are just a few of the nasties on the roster, guaranteed to make your hair curl – or worse, depending on your proximity to the plant. read more

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’s Generosity: Funding Air Monitors to Track Their Own Pollution

Pennsylvania Shell ethylene cracker plant

In a stunning display of corporate altruism, Shell, the benevolent oil giant known for its tender care of the environment, has graciously agreed to part with over $630,000. This sum, a mere trifle from the $10 million in penalties they’ve amassed, will be used by environmental watchdog groups to install five real-time air monitors throughout Beaver County. Because, you know, it’s easier just to keep track of how much pollution you’re breathing in rather than stop polluting.

The Beaver County Marcellus Awareness Community (BCMAC) is partnering with the Environmental Health Project to deploy these monitors. According to a Monday news release, the goal is to “analyze, visualize and interpret the data collected from these monitors to help community members understand where the air pollution is coming from and what health outcomes they may expect.” Translation: “Let’s help you pinpoint exactly how Shell’s pollution is killing you.”

BCMAC will also “provide community education about air pollution and the health impacts associated with exposure to emissions from petrochemical facilities.” This initiative stems from activists’ long-standing demand for increased monitoring near Shell’s ethane cracker plant, which started operations in late 2022. Ah yes, education – because knowing you’re being poisoned is half the battle. read more

Shell Shovels Plastic into Pittsburgh’s Rivers!

The Shell plant sits on a site oozing with legacy contaminants like zinc, thallium, and aluminium. These nasties are happily leaching into the Ohio River.

POSTED BY JOHN DONOVAN: 16 MAY 2024

Once a month for nearly two years, Evan Clark, the Waterkeeper at Three Rivers Waterkeeper, has heroically boated along the Ohio River to Shell’s monstrous new plastics plant in Beaver County. This beast of a facility cranks out up to 1.6 million tons of plastic per year, thanks to the magic of fracked gas. Clark’s mission? To spot the devilish little plastic pellets known as nurdles and keep tabs on the plant’s wastewater outfalls. Spoiler alert: It’s not pretty.

Since the plant’s grand debut in the fall of 2022, Clark has detected strong chemical odours at the outfalls—red flags for contaminants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs). And the nurdles? He’s found them by the truckload. These tiny plastic fiends, used to make everything from soda bottles to car parts, are flooding the riverbanks. read more
