Jeroen van der Veer admits Shell TV advertising greenwash was dishonest

The interview I conducted with its chief executive, Jeroen van der Veer, broadcast on the Guardian’s website today, contains what appears to be an interesting admission.

BP counts the $6bn cost of decline in oil prices

Over the past six months, as the world has plunged into recession and financial crisis, shares in big oil companies such as BP, Royal Dutch Shell and ExxonMobil of the US have outperformed market averages.

U.S. Ban Being Lifted on Oil Shale in Wyoming, Utah

Companies such as Exxon-Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Chevron Corp. are studying production through a process that involves heating rock to extract oil. Western states may hold as much as 800 billion barrels of oil, potentially enough to fuel the U.S. for a century. Environmental groups have opposed such oil-shale production, saying it destroys pristine lands and requires great quantities of energy and water.
