Oil Giant Shell Dumps ALEC Over Climate-Change Position
August 7, 2015 Royal Dutch Shell said Friday that it's severing ties with the American Legislative Exchange Council, a coalition of companies and conservative state lawmakers, over differences on climate change.
"ALEC advocates for specific economic growth initiatives, but its stance on climate change is clearly inconsistent with our own. We have long recognized both the importance of the climate challenge and the critical role energy has in determining quality of life for people across the world," Shell said in a statement.
Shell, which has faced pressure to dump ALEC from groups including the Union of Concerned Scientists and Common Cause, said it would let its association with ALEC lapse when "the current contracted term ends early next year."
