Shell's renewables boss to leave after CEO strategy shift

I was wondering how long it would take.

Shell could increase profits if there was ever an (outside sourced) honest assessment of job roles and responsibilities. If you go into the place, there’s so many people in offices and cubicles doing absolutely nothing. So many made up jobs. During COVID, the plants were down to skeleton crews and a handful of staff working off-site. All the nonessential jobs were not contributing. The places ran just fine and still made record profits. The people that were staffed on site during COVID say it’s the best the place ever ran and things like morale and work ethic was higher than it had been in many years.

I'm appalled by the way young college graduates regard history.

I work in engineering and during infrequent downtimes I like to discuss the growth of technology and the few new kids we have hired just roll their eyes and have said that none of this is important and that their ideas are better and the only things that should count.

I counter that if the steam engine had not been invented we would not have electricity and refrigeration. Without optics we could have never cured many of the diseases that have plagued humanity since the beginning of civilization.

They have been taught that none of this is important. Malthus would be proud.

Without petrochemicals millions would be dead.

The disdain and disrespect of History from our younger generations is very troubling and down right dangerous.
This will needlessly kill people and is tantamount to genocide.

Interesting. Something seems to be happening in the manufactured momentum of ESG. Last week Fink was crying about his agenda being hijacked by the left and the right, and now Shell is going back to fossil fuels.

The wind farms in the ocean are about to have their days numbered due to the environmental issues with sea life. I guestimate there is going to be something that starts brewing within 6 months.

You know how dumb ESG is? The drilling industry is trying to power offshore rigs with battery power. There stumbling block right now is how to mitigate a battery fire without it being a total disaster for the platform and not become an environmental problem. Seriously, some people in boardrooms had to say, lets go green by using battery power to drill for fossil fuels.

What is Bidens sun shade going to do to solar power? Solar is also getting beat up in the last week. CA largest contract went belly up and sticking it to the customers whose money they took and did not deliver. On top of that CA has a solar panel mandate and very limited ability to provide the solar panels. Go figure.

Then there is the Solar farm that was destroyed by hail. Yep, that is yet another "we told ya so". so much for that great idea. And what about all the damage to the atmosphere by reflecting all the rays back and the additional heat is creates?
