I really wanted to direct this message to your CEO, Marvin Odum, but his address appears to be unavailable. Similarly, I am forced to send this message by mail to anyone at Shell who may consider this message his area of responsibility. My first suggestion is that you revise your website to designate individuals and their responsibilities and also include e-mail addresses so that we may be able to contact them with specific appropriate information, which could be materially beneficial to Shell Energy.
I heard on Fox news this Saturday morning an indication that Shell would be addressing the subject of fracking for natural gas production. The commentator showed water flaming in the sink from natural gas, which had apparently contaminated the water. I waited with the anticipation to hear what Shell would have to say about the subject. As a chemist, I know much about it myself, but I wanted to hear something relating to Shell's general defense to the American public concerning their franking process for improving natural gas production. In other words, I saw a ray of hope, in that a major company would try to defend with the American public a particular production operation which might appear to negatively affect the American public.
I was disappointed by not seeing or hearing anyone from Shell. What I saw instead, was a weasel-worded presentation by Dr. Timothy Considine from the University of Wyoming. I think that his presentation actually harmed Shell's position on the fracking process.
My strong position on this issue is that major companies should be spending a part of their budget to protect their businesses from incorrect advertisements and general publications from negative influences. It is not only the facts of whether fracking is environmentally harmful, it is also a matter of public perception. An incorrect public perception can doom positive technological development, not only to the public itself but also to suppliers like Shell.
