As long as shell uses some of that money for lobbying that isn't going to happen

I'll never understand how lobbying became a thing. It should have been shut down as anti democracy the second it was proposed

I also can't understand lobbying. To me, a non-US person, it just seems like legalized corruption.

Because that's exactly what it is. It's a way for the rich to force the policies they want while quelching any policies they don't.
