Dutch Court Orders Shell To Cut Carbon Emissions By 45% by 2030
I would never own another European oil company again, not after losing my wallet on Shell. First of all they are being forced by the European government to think green when none of this is going to help the air quality and global warming. When this earth decides it's not going to warm up any more then another ice age will hit. No human or bunch of humans are going to stop that any more than they are going to stop the volcanoes going off around the world spewing out more contaminants than humans do.
In other words, don't invest in Shell or any of their products because Netherlands are trying to put the company out of business then their stock won't be worth the paper it's written on.
Truthfully, I hope that shell and other fuel companies tell Holland to get lost and move totally out of the country. Then the country can see about how to get along with no fuel inside their borders at all.
All of you idiots keep saying climate change, when the climate has always been changing since the beginning of the planet Earth. You are just too afraid to say global warming because then way too many people will tell you to get lost and never support that science that has been debunked.
The only thing green fossil fuel companies want is their money in the bank.
Presumably we are talking about carbon released during production, not the hydrocarbons they are selling. Reporting might have touched on this
Gas 10 dollars a gallon!💪
Good idea
Just move company to china protect us share holders
yes, hold the corporations responsible.
Lol in 2030???
Plenty of time to make money before getting old and lower it
Thank god for countries like Holland who consistently show countries like America, China and India how to move forward.
Why want the Dutch government walk to work ?
yut it's emissions?
