Actually, all three of those companies have invested somewhat in alternative energy – Shell in particular. But they haven’t made it a big piece of their budgets. Not surprised that they want to focus on and protect their main business, but they do realize that their business will change in the near future.
The Sinclair dinosaur as a brand symbol is long-gone in our area. The big company research facility on the highway had become a multi-use business area, when I was last past it. Maybe it’s torn down, now. Time is an ever-flowing stream …
I’d guess that this is a response to the Exxon-Mobil stockholders meeting at which the stockholders voted for new directors who are activists on climate, and also, the court decision in the Hague against Shell to reduce CO2 emissions by 45%.

Should Shell be lumped with Exxon?
