Shell hands over far more to governments than any Big Tech company like Amazon or Apple and yet the oil and gas industry gets no political support! The money is used to subsidise reduction in demand for oil and gas. Is the leadership asleep? A decent leader would ensure that $61 billion buys some goodwill?
In the post covid era, governments will miss the oil tax revenue when its gone.
Perhaps governments could be encouraged to support blue hydrogen which is clean, reliable and affordable? At least that would use natural gas and geology and geoscience skills.
Wake-up Shell before green hydrogen eats our lunch!
