Green MEP slams oil firm Shell
Shell is in trouble with the Green Party again. This on the party’s website:
GREEN MEP and ‘politician of the year’ Caroline Lucas has hit out at the main sponsor of a leading climate change conference - Shell - for undermining efforts to tackle the problem, during a speech at the event today.
Dr Lucas said she applauded Shell’s decision to be lead sponsor of the Guardian Climate Change Summit for key policymakers and businesses, but condemned the company’s record of investing around just 1% of its research budget in renewable energy compared to some 70% looking for yet more oil and gas.
