re: Shell's renewables boss to leave after CEO strategy shift

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.
