REMINDER: Shell Reports $6.3 Billion in Q2 Profits, Their Lobbyist Penned Project 2025 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Shell reported $6.3 billion in profits for Q2, spending $2.2 billion on dividends and $4 billion in stock buybacks. Trump’s extreme Project 2025 would help them pad their profits even more. And that’s no surprise considering Rick Dearborn, Donald Trump’s former deputy chief of staff and a registered lobbyist for Shell, authored the first chapter of Project 2025 on staffing the highest-level positions in the White House.

Climate Power senior advisor for oil and gas Alex Witt issued the following statement: “Project 2025 was written by and for the oil and gas industry. Donald Trump asked oil and gas CEOs for $1 billion for his campaign – and the ‘deal’ he promised them for $110 billion in tax breaks. Trump and his dangerous Project 2025 agenda will let polluters off the hook for putting harmful chemicals into our air and water and gouging Americans at the pump.”
