On 1st February Shell announced their profits for the year. The poor souls only made $25 billion so obivously all right-thinking people will understand that they just can't afford to move their gas refinery off the west coast of Ireland, just like they can't afford to clean up the mess they've left in their wake and the devastation it has caused for local communities throughout the world.
