Shell vs.The Environment & The Public Trust

SeeitRealcom believes there is clear pattern in Shell Oil's bad environmental behavior. Not only in the United States, but globally. SeeitReal.com is dedicated to showing that pattern to every country having environmental problems with Shell's inability to follow its own business principles and code of conduct when it comes to the environment (those countries can make their own decision as to any pattern of "malicious avoidance" Shell may or may not have). In a radical move, Argentina shut down Shell's refinery (article here) causing Shell to shut down every service station in the country (Dow Jones article here). Shell is "spinning" these global problems to the press and its stakeholders as aggressively selfish moves by rogue governments, but the truth is much more simple. Shell management, such as Shell President David Sexton, hand these issues over freely; allowing the exploitation of Shell Oil, by not effectively dealing with them in the first place and by arrogantly thinking Shell is invincible to significant repercussions due to Shell's "acts of environmental irresponsibility." The worst of it is Shell blatantly not even doing what it agreed to do in the first place. A California Senator has highlighted the problem as good as anyone regarding Shell not cleaning up a refinery it agreed to environmentally remediate (see Voluntary Compliance). Along with Shell's clandestine mass sell off of all its retail environmental responsibilities in the United States and Shell's environmental problems with 13,000 former Texaco stations (see Problem Defined) would indicate a pattern of bad behavior that is likely to cause a domino effect of Shell losing financial interests in multiple countries in the not too distant future. It did not serve the larger part of the free world that Shell lost control of the largest gas and oil project in the history of the planet (see Billions Lost). Until Shell can come to its senses and deal with the issues raised by this website, SeeitReal.com will refer every country facing environmental problems with Shell to visit this website and discover, what it believes to be, the pattern of environmental irresponsibility and deception Shell willfully elects to follow (see email to Argentina Ministry of Health and the Environment here and California Attorney General Letter attachment here). Shell management not following Shell's stated business principles and code of conduct, as it applies to the environment, this site believes is what is causing Shell it losses in the world arena (goverments exploit weaknesses). Shell can begin to fix that by definitively testing and cleaning up the Texaco problem, beginning with the two stations in Corona California (with known problems) and clean up the California refinery with the urgency it promised to do it with. Having to shut down every Shell service station in Argentina, Shell is sure to address the environmental issues at its refinery there. As far as the environment is concerned, SeeitReal.com applauds Argentina for making Shell do the right thing. Up to now, America has lacked the resolve to compel Shell in anyway to do the same (see here).
