I think that this is a pretty good statement of reality by James Smith. He rightly places the principal responsibility with Governments (I would add to this governmental groupings like the EU). I find in revealing (and pleasingly honest) that there is only a passing mention of “Renewables” in Smith’s piece (and actually no use at all of the R word). It is a shame that Shell’s corporate advertising over the past few years has not similarly placed Renewables in their (minor) place in the Shell galaxy. This seems to be changing and Shell’s quite recent communications initiative “Eureka” is quite excellent and I commend it to anyone. (See http://tinyurl.com/yppfyl) .

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
