Shell to Sun: Drop Dead — Oil Giant Ditches Brazil’s Solar Projects Because Clean Energy Doesn’t Bleed Enough Cash

Mar 28th, 2025

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. read more

Shell’s Billion-Dollar Bonanza: Profits Over Planet, Again

Feb 26th, 2025

Shell is once again proving that nothing—not plummeting profits, climate devastation, or public outrage—will stop it from showering its investors with cash. Despite a “disappointing” $23.7 billion in profits for 2024 (down from the nearly $40 billion bonanza in 2022), Shell still managed to cough up $22.5 billion for its investors, because when you’re one of the world’s most notorious polluters, keeping shareholders happy always comes before keeping the planet habitable. read more

BP + Shell: A Marriage Made in Climate Hell

A Reunion of Greed, Pollution, and Corporate Self-Destruction: Investors are openly salivating over a Shell takeover.

Move over, environmental concerns—the oil industry’s biggest villains are plotting a reunion tour. If BP and Shell merge, they’ll be reviving the spirit of Shell-Mex and BP Ltd, their old joint venture that ended in 1975. But this time, instead of just selling oil, they’re going full supervillain mode, consolidating power, wrecking the planet, and probably running off to Wall Street for good measure.

BP’s Identity Crisis: From Greenwashing to Giving Up Entirely

BP is falling apart at the seams. Just a few years ago, it was busy pretending to care about renewable energy, net-zero emissions, and a climate-friendly future. Former CEO Bernard Looney promised BP would cut oil and gas production by 40% by 2030 while investing billions in wind and solar. Investors were “jazzed,” and for a moment, it looked like BP might actually be trying to reform itself. 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

Oh, Shell. The planet’s favourite oil-slicked villain has once again shown us just how committed it is to “cleaner mobility” (wink wink). In a move that’s equal parts farcical and revealing, Shell Recharge Solutions is throwing its charging business into a blender—shutting down software services, offloading responsibilities, and pretending it’s all part of some grand strategy for a greener future. What’s really happening? Let’s dive into the shameless absurdity read more

Shell Uses AI to Save the Planet (While Continuing to Destroy It): A Masterclass in Hypocrisy

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

WTF Shell? The Oil Giant’s New Motto: Screw the Planet, Show Me the Money

In a breathtaking display of corporate greed dressed up as “strategic review,” Shell—the world’s favourite villain in the game of Destroy the Planet for Profit—has decided it’s no longer interested in leading the transition to clean energy. Why? Because it turns out offshore wind doesn’t print money fast enough for CEO Wael Sawan, whose vision for the future seems to be a fossil-fueled inferno of record profits.

Let’s break this down. Shell, once pretending to dabble in saving the planet with its renewable energy division, is now gutting it for parts. Shell Energy—the division responsible for renewables, power generation, and supply—is being hacked into two Frankenstein-like units: power generation and trading. Because, hey, why bother with innovation when you can shuffle papers and call it a strategy? 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

Shell and Tesco Hijack the UK’s Biggest Solar Farm—Greenwashing at Its Finest

Well, this is rich. The UK’s largest solar farm, Cleve Hill, was supposed to be the shining beacon of green energy, destined to power more than 100,000 homes. But instead, in a twist of fate that surprises absolutely no one, Tesco and Shell have swooped in to claim the whole thing for themselves. Yep, that’s right. What was sold to the public as a game-changer for household energy is now going to power Tesco supermarkets and Shell’s ever-growing network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The irony is almost too painful to watch. read more

Hold the applause, everyone—Shell, the fossil fuel Goliath, is here to save the environment! Yes, you read that right. The same company that’s been profiting off the destruction of the planet for over a century now wants you to believe they’re the heroes of the renewable energy story. So grab some popcorn and prepare for the spectacle as Shell, the world’s favorite oil-soaked villain, receives federal approval for two offshore wind farms. Because, sure, we’ll all forget about their endless pollution now that they’re planting a few turbines in the Atlantic. read more

Oh look, folks! Shell, the notorious planet-wrecker and fossil fuel fanatic, is now trying to rebrand itself as some kind of eco-warrior. In a move so dripping with irony it might actually short-circuit their new chargers, Shell is planning to turn its former Scottish headquarters into an electric vehicle charging hub. Yes, you read that right. The same company that spent decades pumping oil, gas, and toxic waste into the environment now wants to be your go-to for “clean” energy.

Shell Ditches Hydrogen Plans in Norway – Apparently Destroying the Planet Is Easier Than Decarbonizing It

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. Color me shocked. 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: Which Shell shareholders have already sold their holdings in the polluting oil giant?

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

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

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
