Shell was accused yesterday of "selling suicide on the forecourt" by pressing ahead with tar sands operations in Canada and continuing to flare off excess gas in Nigeria while pulling out of renewable schemes such as the London Array - the world's largest offshore wind scheme.

Shell ‘selling suicide’ by preferring tar sands to wind
Wind farms stalled by five-year planning delays
The fragility of the wind power business was highlighted recently when Shell pulled out of the world's biggest offshore wind farm - the London Array, off Kent - because of spiralling costs associated with planning delays.

Shell’s withdrawal from the Thames Estuary wind farm project

Daily Telegraph Letters: Wind and snow
Both Shell and BP employ significant engineering and planning resources to determine viable business opportunities for their companies. So the withdrawal of Shell from the Thames Estuary wind farm project and BP’s stated lack of interest in wind turbines strongly endorse Christopher Booker’s assertions (May 4) that wind turbines are not an economic or reliable way to produce electricity.

London Array: Shell Lets Her Majesty Down

Comment by Christopher Zurcher of Zurcher Communications on Shell’s unexpected withdrawal from the London Array Wind Farm project
Does it take someone with less intelligence to think it would behoove companies like Shell to put some of their resources toward things that would help the planet theyre so greedily set on raping for crude profits?
In search of some wind in their sails
Shell may have been concerned by the rising price of offshore wind, but it is seriously misguided if it thinks that concentrating its efforts on extracting the remaining fossil fuels is a better bet than renewables in the medium or long term.

















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.
