They effectively sell all of our fuel. I'm doing my best to avoid them but I'm in a fortunate position where I'm wealthy enough to use the alternatives which are 20% or so more money.

I hope more do the same, then shell will die

Can't kill a megacorp like that this easily, they have ample time to invest their ill-gotten earnings elsewhere even in the most optimistic scenario. Most energy companies are branching out into renewables nowadays.

That's no excuse to not contribute towards greener alternatives

It's not an excuse, it's about managing expectations. Having unrealistic expectations is dangerous for any movement.
