Thank you, #ShellEnergy , #BP, #ExxonMobile , #TotalEnergies, #OPEC, #etc and - before I forget - A special thanks to #GOP, the bought and paid for #ClimateScienceDeniers who could have acted 25 years ago. (There are far too many co-conspirators to list them all)

Climate crisis: average world incomes to diminish by nearly a fifth by 2050

Cost of environmental damage will be six times higher than price of limiting global heating to 2C, study finds

The Guardian

Hi,

As you read this, Shell is threatening to sue Greenpeace for a staggering $1.7 million dollars because they dared to challenge their reckless oil expansion plans. This is outrageous. Peaceful protest is not a crime!

I just signed this open letter to Shell expressing my dismay at the case - can you sign it too? https://act.gp/4bOswO9

Greenpeace will be handing in the open letter as evidence in court, so every signature counts!

Thank you

I learned something interesting today: Shell Energy bought Volta sometime last year.

What prompted me to learn this is the Volta charger I’d been using on the weekends for free charging are now Shell branded.

Shell Energy claims to be 100% renewable, but they operate entirely on RECs.

At least the charger is still free, I guess.

Beim #Kundenservice von #ShellEnergy 🛢️ angerufen
Nach dem üblichen Fragen hat der Mitarbeiter des CallCenters keinerlei Interesse das Kundenanliegen zu lösen.
Er bügelt alle Fragen ab und legt dann auf.

So geht #ServiceQualität nicht!
Scheinbar ist nur Energie wichtig.

Shell Energy's UK consumer business likely to be bought by Octopus Energy. It seems to me the savvy thing to do is to switch to Octopus now and get a joining bonus £50 bonus.

Octopus Energy is favourite to wrap tentacles around Shell customers

I'm switching to Octopus Energy from Shell Energy.

I can't very well be a supporter of ClientEarth, who are suing Shell’s Board of Directors for failure to properly prepare for the energy transition and also be a Shell customer.

So glad I took the decision, on #ethical grounds to move to #Ecotricity as my #EnergyCompany, after being moved to #ShellEnergy when my previous supplier #PurePlanet went into adminstration in Sep 2021.

@endfuelpoverty

I was moved to #ShellEnergy when my previous supplier, #PurePlanet, went into administration in autumn 2021.

They've always been OK for me, but I resented paying out to a company that is part of a conglomorate that drives #ClimateChange with their #FossilFuels and #Oil, and makes vast #Profits too.

I've just moved to #Ecotricity, and have changed my bank to a more #EcoFriendly one, #TriodosBank.
