SHELL KEEPS DIGGING A DEEPER HOLE

Nov 26th, 2013

by John Donovan.

Europe’s biggest oil company is burning through cash at an extraordinary rate. Shell shareholders have long nursed a low level of dissatisfaction. Many were underwhelmed by the appointment of yet another chief executive from deep within the Anglo-Dutch behemoth, which is steeped in a profound love for big engineering projects and an apparently dismissive attitude to investors.

GREENPEACE RAINBOW WARRIOR

The Rainbow Warrior has been the heart and soul of Greenpeace global campaigning for over 30 years. She’s been raided, rammed, shot at and bombed but the spirit of the Warrior is stronger than ever. After French Government agents bombed the first ship in Auckland harbour in 1985, she was laid to rest in Matauri Bay. Her replacement then picked up the baton and led from the front for over 21 years before being retired. Now the new Rainbow Warrior - the first purpose built Greenpeace ship - is leading the campaign for a cleaner, smarter, more innovative future. Read more

Saturday, U.K. protesters were staged at Shell gas stations. This was a response to the news that Shell will embark with the Russian oil company, Gazprom, in Arctic shore drilling.
