Shell CEO urges Britain to remain in European Union

Shell CEO Ben van Buerden is the latest business leader to voice his views on a possible ‘Brexit’

By Andrew Critchlow in Vienna: 04 Jun 2015

Britain should stay in Europe, the head of the UK’s largest publicly listed company Royal Dutch Shell has said as a growing number of business leaders express concerns ahead of a referendum on the issue in 2017.

Speaking on the sidelines of an energy conference in Vienna, Ben van Buerden, chief executive of Shell said: “I don’t think it will be a good idea for Britain to exit Europe.”

The boss of the Anglo-Dutch major with headquarters in London added: “I think it will be for the benefit of Europe and the UK and certainly for businesses like ourselves with very very strong legs in one and the other to see a continued engagement between the EU and Britain.”

MOSCOW, JUNE 4, 2015

Russia‘s second largest gas producer, Novatek, said on Thursday it had signed a long-term contract with Royal Dutch Shell to supply around 0.9 million tonnes of LNG annually for more than 20 years.

“We are currently finalising Novatek’s contract portfolio for the supply of LNG from the Yamal LNG project. Considering the extensive expertise of Shell, we are planning to further develop our cooperation in the LNG sector,” Leonid Mikhelson, Novatek’s CEO and co-owner, said in a statement.

Woodside muscling onto BG-Shell turf with global LNG push

PARIS, JUNE 4 | BY OLEG VUKMANOVIC

Australia’s Woodside Petroleum is expanding its liquefied natural gas (LNG) business and aims to build a global supply network ahead of an expected surge in trading of the fuel, its chief executive said in an interview.

Peter Coleman said Woodside’s latest venture with U.S.-based Sempra, announced on Wednesday, to potentially build from scratch an LNG export plant in the United States at Port Arthur was the latest signal of its intention.

“What our strategy is: focus on Asia customers, but sourcing LNG globally,” and not just from the company’s existing Australian producing plants, he said on the sidelines of an industry conference in Paris.

Revolution Now: 10 Reasons Why Activists Should Support Bernie Sanders

Revolution Now: 10 Reasons Why Activists Should Support Bernie Sanders

By Justin Akers / justinakersblog.wordpress.com

1. On Sanders’ Decision to Run as a Democrat

Sanders is running in the Democratic Party primaries for practical reasons. As a Democrat, he  can easily get on the ballot in every state, and he will be in all the debates. He’s not fulfilling some lifelong goal of joining the Democratic Party. He’s still an independent socialist.

There is no need to focus excessively on the fact that he’s running as a Democrat. It’s unfortunate that he has to run as a Democrat in order to run an effective campaign, but there is no viable third party route to the Presidency at this time.

Similarly, we needn’t make too much of the fact that Bernie caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate. Karl Marx would caucus with the Democrats if he were in the Senate. It’s just practical politics. READ MORE
