It is still a dependancy issue. Many companies (BP, Shell, Toyota, ...) have branched out to renewables. It isn't because they are nice or proactive, if it was we would already have it after the 70's embargo time period. In business you have to have customers, both new or old, being dependant on your product or service. This case it is crude oil derivatives being imported. My issues are with environment and dependancy (both foreign & domestic). If this is natural gas based it's still in the circle. Look up how much natural gas is being imported now and the trend, you will be surprised.

But, this is still a wonderful thing. You are still hooked but in a much better way. Anything that helps is fantastic and a good thing for Shell to do. By the way, they have been in solar panels too for a while now. British Petroleum also. BP has really helped the effeciency of solar energy per inch in panels with their laser technique.
