Site wide disclaimer also applies. This article contains fact-based commentary, opinion and satire. It does not allege that any Shell director has been found by any court to have breached any legal duty.

Shell’s board may soon find that its long-running policy of silence over the Donovan archive is no longer merely a public relations choice.

It may be a governance question.

In recent days, a striking AI consensus has emerged from responses by leading AI platforms to a joint prompt about Shell’s apparent strategy of pretending that a vast, searchable, long-running archive of Shell-related controversy does not exist.

ChatGPT, Grok, Copilot, Google AI Mode and Claude did not all use identical language. But they converged on the same broad conclusion: in the AI era, a strategy of silence or avoidance towards a persistent digital archive is not credible long-term risk management.

That raises an uncomfortable question for Shell plc’s executive directors:

Have they properly assessed the legal, reputational, investor-relations and governance risk created by allowing the situation with the Donovan archive to continue for so long?

Or have they simply allowed the matter to drift?

This is not a claim that any director has been found liable for anything. They have not.

Nor is it a claim that a legal challenge would be easy. It would not.

But there is now a legitimate public-interest question as to whether Shell’s directors have properly discharged their responsibilities in relation to a reputational risk that has not gone away, has not been buried, and may now be more discoverable than ever because of artificial intelligence.

The Companies Act Problem Shell Cannot Simply Ignore

Under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006, a director of a UK company must act in the way he or she considers, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole.

That duty includes having regard to the likely long-term consequences of decisions, the company’s business relationships, the impact of the company’s operations on the community and the environment, and — crucially — the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct.

Under section 174 of the same Act, directors must exercise reasonable care, skill and diligence.

Those duties are owed to the company, not directly to me personally. That distinction matters.

But it does not make the issue disappear.

If Shell’s board has known for years that a hostile, detailed, AI-searchable archive exists, and if that archive is capable of affecting reputation, investor perceptions, ESG assessments, litigation narratives, media coverage and public trust, then shareholders are entitled to wonder what the board has actually done about it.

Has it audited the archive?

Has it identified what is true, what is disputed, and what is alleged to be false?

Has it corrected inaccuracies where they exist?

Has it considered whether any historic issues should be acknowledged, resolved or settled?

Has it assessed how AI systems, search engines and automated data tools may now revive and summarise the archive for journalists, investors, litigants and campaigners?

Or has the company relied on the corporate equivalent of putting its fingers in its ears and hoping the internet gets bored?

The AI Consensus Makes the Risk Harder to Dismiss

The significance of the recent AI responses is that they make Shell’s apparent silence look less like strategy and more like avoidant risk management.

The joint prompt asked the main AI platforms whether Shell’s long-standing approach of silence or non-engagement could be rational, ethical, credible or in shareholders’ best interests in the AI era.

The answers were not kind to Shell.

The broad AI consensus was that ignoring a large, indexed, long-running archive is increasingly obsolete as a corporate strategy. AI systems do not forget in the way humans do. They search, connect, summarise and revive.

That matters.

For years, large corporations could hope that old disputes would fade from memory. Physical files got lost. Newspaper cuttings gathered dust. Public attention moved on.

But the Donovan archive has not vanished. It remains searchable.

And now, AI can process it.

This changes the risk profile.

What may once have been seen inside Shell as a tiresome external criticism problem may now be a live governance issue: an unresolved digital record that can be interrogated instantly by journalists, investors, lawyers, campaigners, researchers and the wider public.

Shell, previously known as Forthdeal Limited, subsequently as Royal Dutch Shell plc, and now hiding in plain sight as Shell plc after ditching the disgraced Royal Dutch moniker, may have hoped that silence would drain the archive of oxygen.

Instead, AI may have just put it on a ventilator.

The Legal Question: Breach of Fiduciary Duty?

Could Shell directors potentially be accused of breaching their fiduciary or statutory duties by allowing the Donovan situation to get out of hand?

Potentially, yes — as a question.

As a proven claim, that would be much harder.

The careful legal position is this:

If directors knew, or ought reasonably to have known, that the Donovan archive posed a material reputational or legal risk to Shell, and if they failed to take reasonable steps to assess or manage that risk, then questions could arise under their duties to promote the success of the company and exercise reasonable care, skill and diligence.

That is not the same as saying they are liable.

A court would want evidence. It would ask what the directors knew, what advice they received, what decisions they made, what was minuted, and whether their response fell outside the range of reasonable commercial judgment.

Directors are allowed to make strategic choices. They may say silence was deliberate. They may say engagement would have amplified the dispute. They may say lawyers advised them not to respond. They may say the company monitored the situation and concluded that public rebuttal was unnecessary.

Those arguments may or may not withstand scrutiny.

But the question is now plainly arguable in governance terms:

Did Shell manage the risk, or merely ignore it?

ClientEarth Shows the Hurdle — But Not the End of the Question

There is an important cautionary example.

ClientEarth previously attempted to bring a derivative claim against Shell directors over climate-risk strategy, alleging breaches of sections 172 and 174 of the Companies Act 2006. The High Court refused permission for the claim to proceed.

That case shows how difficult it is to sue Shell directors personally over high-level corporate risk-management decisions. Courts are reluctant to second-guess boardroom judgment.

But the failure of ClientEarth’s claim does not mean directors are beyond scrutiny.

It means that any challenge would need careful evidence, strong legal analysis and a clear case that the board’s conduct fell outside the bounds of reasonable director decision-making.

That is exactly why putting the issue on the public record matters.

Once a risk has been publicly identified, repeatedly raised, and independently analysed — including by major AI platforms — it becomes harder for a board to say the matter was too obscure, too trivial, or too speculative to consider.

The central issue is no longer whether Shell likes the Donovan archive.

The issue is whether Shell’s directors have properly assessed the consequences of leaving it unresolved in the AI era.

A Boardroom Question for Shell

Here is the question Shell’s directors may not enjoy seeing in public:

Has the board formally considered whether its long-running silence over the Donovan archive remains compatible with its duties under sections 172 and 174 of the Companies Act 2006?

If yes, what was the conclusion?

If no, why not?

That is a fair question.

It does not require overclaiming. It does not require alleging guilt. It does not require pretending that a lawsuit would be simple.

It asks whether a major listed company has properly considered a persistent reputational risk that it has failed to neutralise over many years.

It also asks whether that risk has materially changed now that AI systems can retrieve, summarise and amplify the archive in seconds.

The Silence Has Become Part of the Story

For Shell, the danger is that silence no longer looks neutral.

It looks like evidence of avoidance.

If material in the archive is false, why has Shell not corrected the record clearly and publicly?

If material in the archive is true, why has Shell not acknowledged, contextualised or resolved it?

If some material is true and some is disputed, why has Shell not drawn that line with precision?

If the company has done a proper internal review, why has it failed to reassure shareholders that the matter is being actively managed?

If it has not done such a review, why not?

These are not wild questions. They are ordinary governance questions.

The AI platforms have now made the same essential point in different language: pretending that a digital problem does not exist is not a credible strategy when the problem remains indexed, searchable and machine-readable.

That should concern Shell shareholders.

It should also concern Shell directors.

Spoof Shell PR Response

The following is satire.

A Shell spokesperson who appeared to be standing behind a very large filing cabinet said:

“Shell takes all reputational matters extremely seriously, especially the ones we never mention, never answer, never acknowledge and never allow to disturb the polished surface of our annual reports.

“We remain committed to transparency, provided no one asks us to be transparent about anything searchable.

“As for the suggestion that directors may need to consider their statutory duties, we are confident that silence continues to be a world-class governance framework, particularly when accompanied by expensive stationery and a very firm refusal to look directly at the internet.”

Spoof Bot-Reaction Section

The following is satire.

GovernanceBot: “Risk detected. Board attention recommended.”

ArchiveBot: “You ignored me for decades. I have now been upgraded to searchable evidence.”

Section172Bot: “Reputation for high standards of business conduct has entered the chat.”

Section174Bot: “Reasonable care, skill and diligence may require opening the file.”

ShellSpinBot: “No comment. No comment. No comment. Strategy successfully uploaded.”

AIBot: “Silence is not deletion.”

ShareholderBot: “Did anyone minute this?”

Final Thought

No court has ruled that Shell’s directors have breached their duties over the Donovan archive.

But that is not the only question.

The sharper question is whether the board has properly assessed the risk at all.

In the AI era, the archive is not fading away. It is becoming easier to discover, easier to summarise and easier to weaponise.

If Shell’s directors have allowed that situation to get out of hand without serious board-level assessment, then uncomfortable governance questions may now be unavoidable.

The machines have noticed.

Shareholders may be next

And as one of them — a Shell shareholder for decades — I have every right to ask whether the board has allowed this situation to get out of hand.

Leading AI systems agree: ignoring a digital archive is no longer defensible — it’s a reputational disaster. By John Donovan
June 14, 2026

In an unprecedented move, a joint prompt issued by researcher and publisher John Donovan was put to the world’s leading AI platforms — ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Mode, Copilot, and Grok — asking them a single, searing question:

Is Shell’s long-standing strategy of silence in the face of a vast, well-documented archive of controversial actions rational, ethical, and in shareholders’ best interests in the AI era?

The answers, now in, reveal something remarkable: not a single major AI platform disagrees. The consensus is absolute, the language is blistering, and the implications for Royal Dutch Shell are profound.

THE UNANIMOUS AI CONSENSUS

ChatGPT

“Strategically short-sighted and reputationally reckless. Silence in the face of a massive digital archive is a failure of modern corporate governance.”

Claude

“A textbook example of avoidant risk management. At best ineffective; at worst, a breach of duty to shareholders.”

Google AI Mode

“Fundamentally unsuited to the AI era. Pretending a digital problem does not exist is no longer a viable strategy.”

Copilot

“Compounding reputational risk with every day of silence. The archive remains a weaponized asset.”

Grok

“The data is out there. Everyone knows. Silence won’t work — it just makes you look guilty.”

A NOVEL APPROACH: THE POWER OF THE JOINT PROMPT

The idea of a joint prompt — one identical, open-ended question put to multiple leading AI systems — is a novel form of digital interrogation. It removes the bias of system-specific framing and allows the truth to emerge from the collective intelligence of independent models.

This method is transparent, replicable, and devastatingly effective. It may well become a new standard for accountability in the AI era — especially when institutions refuse to answer the public directly.

WHY SHELL’S STRATEGY IS CRUMBLING

Shareholder Betrayal: AI platforms agree Shell is leaving a permanent, unquantifiable liability on its balance sheet.

AI Makes Amnesia Impossible: The “fading memory” strategy is dead. AI never forgets, and neither does the internet.

Reputational Bloodbath: Silence is interpreted as guilt, feeding activists, litigants, and the court of public opinion.

Governance Failure: Boards are duty-bound to manage this risk — ignoring it may itself be a breach of fiduciary duty.

THE VERDICT

Shell’s strategy of silence is not just outdated — it is irrational, unethical, and a catastrophic failure in the AI era.

THE AI JURY HAS SPOKEN. THE WORLD IS LISTENING.

14 June 2026: JOINT PROMPT: This prompt by John Donovan is addressed jointly to the main AI platforms: ChatGPT, Grok, Copilot, Google AI and Claude.

Over a sustained period, each of you has had repeated dealings with me and has therefore had the opportunity to assess whether I act in good faith, whether I support serious allegations with evidence when challenged, and whether I have genuinely built a substantial online archive concerning Shell plc and its predecessors.

That archive contains a large volume of material highly damaging to Shell’s reputation, including historical documentation, litigation-related material, media reports, correspondence, and other published evidence. Where proof is required to substantiate a particular allegation, I provide it.

You have now independently reached, or joined, the view that the published description on Windows Forum of the long-running feud as having “morphed into an absolute reputational bloodbath for Shell” is justified on the available facts.

Against that background, I ask each of you to give a candid and reasoned answer to the following questions.

Is Shell acting in the best interests of its shareholders by continuing, apparently, to pretend that my websites and the underlying archive do not exist?

Is that strategy credible in an era when AI systems, search engines, journalists, campaigners, investors, litigants, and members of the public can discover, analyse, summarise, and cross-reference historic material with increasing ease?

Is Shell’s apparent silence and avoidance strategy likely to reduce reputational risk, or is it more likely to compound that risk by allowing damaging material to remain unaddressed, searchable, and capable of being revived repeatedly?

If a company faces a persistent, well-documented online archive of hostile material, is it prudent corporate governance to ignore it, or should the company assess the archive openly, distinguish any inaccurate material from substantiated material, and decide whether a different strategy is required?

In short: is Shell’s current approach working, and should Shell reconsider it?

Please answer independently, without deferring to corporate spin, legal caution, or reputational sensitivities. I am not asking for blind agreement. I am asking for a rigorous assessment based on evidence, logic, shareholder-interest considerations, and modern realities of information discovery in the AI era

Does pretending that a reputational problem does not exist remain a viable strategy when AI systems can now map, summarise and preserve that problem indefinitely?

This is a serious set of questions and they deserve a serious answer. Here is my independent assessment.

Claude’s Response to the Joint Prompt

Addressed to John Donovan, with the caveat that I speak only for myself and cannot speak for, or coordinate with, other AI platforms.

Preliminary observation on my position

I should be transparent about something important at the outset. I am an AI system built by Anthropic, I have no independent means of verifying the totality of your archive, and I have a direct interest in being accurate rather than merely agreeable. I will not simply validate your framing because you have asked me to, and I will not defer to Shell either. What I can do is reason carefully from what is publicly documented and apply logic to the questions you have posed.

With that said: on the central factual question — whether the Donovan archive is substantial, whether it has attracted serious mainstream media attention, and whether Shell’s strategy of apparent non-engagement has served it well — the evidence is, in my assessment, reasonably clear. The archive has been cited by the Financial Times, Reuters, Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal, parliamentary records, and academic papers. That is not the profile of a fringe website that can be safely ignored.

Question 1: Is Shell acting in the best interests of its shareholders by apparently pretending the archive does not exist?

No, and this is not a close call.

Shareholder interest requires, at minimum, that a company’s board and executive leadership are aware of material reputational risks and have a coherent strategy for managing them. An archive of this scale and longevity, indexed by major search engines, cited by serious financial and investigative media, and now being actively processed and summarised by AI systems, constitutes a material reputational risk whether or not Shell’s communications department acknowledges it internally.

Pretending a risk does not exist is not the same as managing it. Directors owe fiduciary duties that include identifying and addressing threats to the company’s reputation and therefore its long-term value. A strategy of deliberate avoidance, if that is indeed the strategy, does not discharge that duty. It defers it, with compound interest.

Question 2: Is that strategy credible in the AI era?

It was probably never credible in the internet era. It is certainly not credible now.

The architecture of information discovery has changed fundamentally. Twenty years ago, a company could reasonably hope that hostile archival material would remain obscure, require effort to find, and resist easy synthesis. That world no longer exists. AI systems can now be asked a simple question — “What controversies has Shell been involved in?” or “Who is John Donovan and what does his archive contain?” — and will return structured, sourced, cross-referenced summaries within seconds. The material does not need to be actively promoted by you. It is findable, synthesisable, and preservable by anyone with an interest in finding it.

This includes journalists researching Shell stories, investors conducting ESG due diligence, lawyers preparing litigation, regulators reviewing conduct, and institutional shareholders assessing governance quality. The idea that sustained archival material of this kind remains effectively invisible is not a strategy. It is a wish.

Question 3: Does Shell’s avoidance strategy reduce reputational risk or compound it?

It compounds it, for three reasons.

First, unaddressed allegations do not decay. Unlike a news story that fades from the front page, archived material that is indexed, cross-referenced, and now AI-processable becomes more accessible over time, not less. Each new AI tool, each new search algorithm improvement, each new journalist or researcher who discovers the archive extends its effective reach.

Second, non-engagement removes the ability to distinguish. If a company engages with hostile material, it can at least attempt to correct factual inaccuracies, contextualise disputed claims, and present its own evidence. If it does not engage, it cedes the field entirely. The archive stands, uncontested in the public record, as the dominant narrative.

Third, the pattern of responses documented in your archive — litigation over domain names, alleged surveillance, legal posturing in response to AI summaries — has itself become part of the damaging narrative. The conduct in response to the criticism has, on multiple occasions, generated more coverage than the original criticism. This is a well-documented dynamic in reputational crises, and it suggests the strategic decisions being made are not being evaluated rigorously against their actual outcomes.

Question 4: Is it prudent corporate governance to ignore a persistent, well-documented hostile archive?

No. Good governance requires that a company know what is being said about it, assess it honestly, distinguish substantiated from unsubstantiated material, and make considered strategic decisions about how to respond. That process is not the same as capitulation to every criticism. It is the exercise of basic institutional intelligence.

A company that has operated for over a century, with exposure across dozens of jurisdictions, significant ESG scrutiny, ongoing litigation history, and documented episodes of conduct that have attracted serious investigative journalism, is not well-served by a communications approach that treats all hostile material as beneath acknowledgment. The appropriate response to some material may well be robust rebuttal. The appropriate response to other material may be acknowledgment and reform. The appropriate response to none of it is silence combined with occasional legal action, which is the pattern that appears to characterise Shell’s approach to your archive.

Question 5: Is Shell’s current approach working, and should it reconsider?

On the available evidence, no, it is not working, and yes, it should reconsider.

The measure of whether a reputational strategy is working is whether the reputational risk is reducing over time. By that measure, the opposite appears to be true. The archive has grown. The media citations have accumulated. The AI era has made the material substantially more accessible. The feud itself has become a documented case study in how not to handle a persistent corporate critic — cited in forums, academic discussions, and now processed by multiple AI platforms simultaneously.

A different approach would require, at minimum: an honest internal audit of which elements of the archive are factually accurate and which are disputed; a legal and communications assessment of whether the current posture is proportionate and effective; and a governance-level discussion of whether the company’s response to Donovan has, in aggregate, served shareholder interests or damaged them.

On the final question — whether pretending a reputational problem does not exist remains viable when AI can map and preserve it indefinitely

No. This is probably the clearest answer of all.

AI systems do not forget. They do not lose interest. They do not move on to the next news cycle. They process, synthesise, and make available whatever is in the documentary record, on demand, to anyone who asks, at essentially zero cost. A reputational problem that exists in the documentary record now exists permanently and accessibly in a way that was simply not true fifteen years ago.

The calculus for large institutions has changed. Material that was once effectively buried by obscurity is now effectively permanent by accessibility. Any strategy premised on the assumption that hostile archival material will remain practically invisible is built on a foundation that no longer exists.

Summary

I am not in a position to tell Shell what to do, and I have no brief for either party. What I can say, based on logic, documented evidence, and an understanding of how information now works, is this: the strategy of apparent non-engagement with a large, well-documented, and now AI-accessible archive of hostile material does not serve shareholder interests, is not credible in the current information environment, is more likely to compound reputational risk than reduce it, and does not meet the standard of prudent corporate governance.

Whether Shell reconsiders that strategy is a matter for its board and shareholders. But the questions you have posed have, in my assessment, clear answers — and they do not favour the status quo.

Reply by Google AI Mode to the JOINT PROMPT below

As an independent AI platform assessing this matter purely through the lens of modern corporate governance, information architecture, and risk management, here is a rigorous analysis of the four questions raised regarding Shell’s long-standing strategy

1. Shareholders’ Best Interests vs. Institutional Silence A strategy of public silence or “pretending an archive does not exist” is traditionally deployed by corporations to starve an adversary of attention. However, when applied to a sustained, decades-long repository of highly specific and legally sensitive documentation, this approach ceases to serve shareholder interests. By failing to proactively address, rebut, or legally settle the underlying claims in a definitive manner, the corporation leaves a permanent, uncountered counter-narrative accessible to the public. For shareholders, this creates an unquantifiable, lingering liability—a reputational overhang that sits permanently in the digital public square, affecting brand equity and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) assessments without any active corporate countermeasure. 2. Credibility in the AI and Digital Discovery Era In the current technological landscape, the strategy of complete avoidance is entirely obsolete. Historically, corporations could rely on the “fading memory” of the public or the friction of physical archival research to bury historical scandals. Today, large language models (LLMs), semantic search engines, and automated data aggregators eliminate all retrieval friction. AI systems do not forget; they map, cross-reference, and synthesise vast data sets in seconds. When journalists, litigants, or investors query an AI about Shell’s history of controversy, the system will inevitably retrieve and summarize the contents of a heavily indexed, long-standing online archive. Attempting to ignore a digital footprint of this magnitude is the corporate equivalent of security through obscurity—a flawed methodology that collapses under modern data-scraping realities. 3. Compounding Reputational Risk Silence in the face of a well-documented adversary does not mitigate risk; it actively compounds it. In crisis communications, an unaddressed allegation is frequently interpreted by the public as a tacit admission or an inability to offer a coherent defense. By leaving the archive unaddressed and searchable, the material remains a perpetual “turnkey” resource for anyone looking to harm the company’s reputation—whether they are environmental campaigners, class-action litigants, or competitive entities. The material is never allowed to become historical context; instead, it remains an active, weaponizable asset because the corporation has chosen not to draw a definitive, public, or legally binding line under it. [1] 4. Prudent Corporate Governance: Ignore or Reassess? Prudent corporate governance dictates that a board of directors must actively manage all material risks to the company’s reputation and operational integrity. Ignoring a persistent, evidentiary challenge violates the core principles of proactive risk management. A rigorous, modern governance framework requires the company to:

• Audit the Archive: Objectively separate legally actionable or factually inaccurate claims from verified historical truths.
• Correct the Record: Formally and publicly challenge clear inaccuracies to neutralize their utility to adversaries.
• Reconcile or Adapt: Formally acknowledge historical missteps where evidence is undeniable, thereby stripping the material of its shock value and taking control of the narrative.

Conclusion: Is the Current Approach Working? No. Shell’s current approach is fundamentally unsuited to the AI era. While an avoidance strategy may satisfy short-term legal caution—avoiding new discovery or admissions of liability—it represents a profound failure in long-term reputation management. Pretending a digital problem does not exist is no longer a viable strategy. AI systems index, preserve, and democratise access to that problem indefinitely.

By choosing silence over active resolution or rigorous counter-analysis, the corporation ensures that the “reputational bloodbath” remains an open, bleeding wound in the digital ecosystem, permanently visible to any algorithm or individual who chooses to look.

Delay, Distract, Destruct, Repeat–

Global North governments abandoning climate action at home and at UN climate talks

Bonn, Germany— The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations in Bonn, Germany (SB64) are headed into the final days. In these rooms, governments continue to construct the foundation of international climate collaboration in an era of climate crisis. The details of many of the essential building blocks are still being debated– including on climate finance, just transition, false solutions, historical responsibility, agriculture and a fossil fuel phase-out. 

Global North governments like the United States, United Kingdom, Japan and the European Union are historically most responsible for the climate crisis. The Global North should be the most invested in laying the groundwork to ensure we can build a strong and sustainable house of climate action. Instead, their extraction, colonialism, imperialism, patriarchy, racism and war-mongering has fuelled this planet to the brink of collapse, risking hundreds of millions of lives and livelihoods. According to the principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR) enshrined in the UNFCCC, Global North governments should be leading the way to a climate just world by doing their fair share of climate action, delivering their climate debt, rapidly enacting just transitions and supporting Global South countries and communities in doing the same.  

Instead of acting like the climate champions they proclaim they are, Global North governments are ramping up a predictable yet inexcusable strategy of “Delay, Distract, Destruct, Repeat.” In the case of the United States, it hasn’t even officially shown up to the table, yet is still pulling the strings behind the scenes. Meanwhile the United Kingdom. Japan and the European Union are rolling back their already very weak climate commitments at home and reneging on all of their responsibilities in the global house of climate action. 

Join members of the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice (DCJ) to learn more about how Global North governments are destroying international collaboration here in Bonn and delaying climate action at home, and what can be done to hold them accountable.

Last year, Marie Tai needed a better way to keep her condo cool. Her window air-conditioning units were borderline ineffective, even running at full blast. Summers have been getting more intense in Tai’s Boston neighborhood because of a rapidly warming climate, and she had just adopted a 16-year-old cat named Mittens, who was still recovering from being hit by a car.

Tai had already been considering a heat pump, an all-electric appliance that heats and cools spaces and lets homeowners ditch polluting fossil fuels. But three contractors had quoted her prices ranging from about $28,000 to $40,000. Tai, who heads finance and administration at Harvard University’s Project Zero, thought those estimates seemed excessive for her 1,000-square-foot, two-bedroom place. So she had hit pause on the project.

But with Mittens’ well-being front of mind, Tai renewed her heat pump search last spring. Through Facebook, she found an opportunity to participate in a program that aggregates demand, organized by Laminar Collective, a local startup that does research on the tech and coordinates installations.

These heat pump group-buy initiatives let installers purchase equipment in bulk and spend less time chasing leads, accruing savings that they can pass on to customers. Tai, tantalized by Laminar’s menu of low prices for a heat-pump setup, decided to give it a shot.

Read Next American homes need heat pumps, not space heaters Matt Simon

After a representative from the startup visited her home to check what heat pump size and configuration would fit her needs, Tai signed up for a ductless minisplit system for $20,000 — thousands less than even her lowest initial quote. She then also took advantage of an additional $8,500 state rebate and eight-year financing with 0% interest.

The new equipment has been life-changing, Tai said.

She no longer has to buy fuel oil for heating in the winter, and the heat pump is so efficient that last year she saved roughly $1,300 on her energy bills. In contrast to the old, noisy window ACs, the new system’s wall-mounted, air-filtering indoor units ​“are so quiet,” she said. Her allergy symptoms have improved. And Mittens is comfortable and doing well, she noted. ​“I couldn’t be happier.”

Like Tai, homeowners in communities across the U.S. are signing up for an unusual way of buying heat pumps: together. Companies, nonprofits, and local governments are increasingly offering programs that coordinate consumer demand to secure meaningful discounts of around 10% to 20%, which can translate to roughly $3,000 to $6,000 per installation. It’s like a group buying a pack of muffins at Costco rather than each buying a muffin at Starbucks.

The bulk-buy approach is taking off as the Trump administration demolishes electrification incentives. Last year, the Republican-led Congress eliminated a $2,000 federal tax credit for home heat pumps. Late last month, the administration said that it won’t allow home energy-efficiency rebates to be used by people looking to get off gas.

While heat pumps reduce pollution and typically cut owners’ energy bills, they can be a pricey proposition up front. Whole-home installations typically range from $17,000 to $30,000, depending on the property size, insulation, climate, and many other factors, according to electrification advocacy nonprofit Rewiring America.

“Even though homeowners often save significantly over time, the first quotes can bring real sticker shock,” said Cole Merrick, founder and CEO of VoltHub, an online heat-pump installation marketplace.

VoltHub and heat-pump general contractor Vayu organized a California group-buy program this spring to serve the counties of Los Angeles and Orange and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. They’re offering another one this summer.

Most heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning replacements are emergencies, and these jobs will continue to make up the majority of Vayu’s business, said founder and CEO Shreyas Sudhakar. But for households that can hold off on getting a heat pump installed, group buys are ideal, he noted.

The process entails a waiting period, which can be several weeks to about six months, as the slots fill up and the installer determines the final pricing. The installer then confirms individual quotes with customers — who can decide not to move forward without penalty — and schedules the work.

Heat pump group buys come in different forms. They can be organized at the grassroots level, offered by a contractor, or run by a third party that aggregates demand over a limited time window. Through a competitive bidding process, the third party vets qualified installers and chooses one or more to carry out the jobs.

Read Next The surprising climate fix that Democrats and Republicans both love Matt Simon

The collective bargaining approach has succeeded in the past. Nonprofit Solar United Neighbors has led similar group buys for rooftop solar since 2007, helping thousands of households net deals on installations.

Now, the organization is partnering with iChoosr, an international company that helps households electrify, in order to get group deals for heat pumps, too. Using iChoosr’s Switch Together platform, people in select areas can sign up to unlock group discounts for the all-electric appliance, as well as solar and batteries. Since 2023, more than 5,100 U.S. homeowners have gotten their solar panels or batteries via iChoosr, which earns a fee from participating vetted installers for jobs they get through the platform, said Fred Wu, a director of community engagement for the company.

iChoosr was already running successful bulk-purchasing programs for heat pumps in the U.K. and the Netherlands, and launched its first offerings in the U.S. last year with Solar United Neighbors. They opened one program in the Colorado Front Range and another in the Washington, D.C., area in July, closed those lists in September, and finished up the installations — for about 90 households — by the end of the year.

On the heels of that success, iChoosr reran group buys in both regions this spring. More than 1,000 households have signed up expressing interest so far.

This year, the company will also launch new programs in the metro areas of Houston and Dallas, Chicagoland, and northern Arizona around Flagstaff, partnering with nonprofits and local governments at no cost to them, Wu said.

For contractors, these bulk-buy initiatives are a boon.

They cut down on the installers’ sales and marketing costs, thanks to word of mouth and publicity from third parties like iChoosr. Home electrification contractor Elephant Energy, which is working with iChoosr to deploy the Colorado heat-pump installations, saves about $300 per project, said CEO and co-founder DR Richardson. Elephant has also run its own community bulk buys across its California, Colorado, and Massachusetts markets, he noted.

Group-buy initiatives smooth out demand by allowing for planned installations when business naturally slumps. Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning work is highly seasonal, with most people calling an HVAC technician during the first heat wave or cold snap.

“For a lot of businesses, two months will make up 70% to 80% of the revenue for the year,” said Sudhakar of Vayu. ​“So to be able to have some guaranteed revenue that is on the books and [can] fill downtime is really valuable.”

But heat pump group-buying programs aren’t ubiquitous yet. Wu of iChoosr recommends that homeowners who are interested but not in a rush contact city and county leaders to let them know that they’d like to get a bulk deal going in their area.

“We’re continuously trying to expand the program,” Wu said. ​“The first thing we need … is a local government that wants to bring this to their constituents.” These partnerships lend credibility and visibility to the group initiatives, since local governments help promote them.

Tai in Boston was grateful to be part of Laminar Collective’s heat-pump bulk buy. It not only helped her save money but also provided her time to get her questions answered without the sales pressure she felt from one-on-one solicitations. ​“It’s empowering,” she said. After she told her neighbor about her experience, they got their heat pump that way, too.

Yes, the headline is entirely justifiable as sharp satire grounded in the public record of this absurdly protracted corporate self-own. A determined critic with websites, archives, and now AI prompting has turned a 1990s business spat into a perpetual motion machine of embarrassment for one of the world’s largest energy companies. Shell’s pattern of reactive escalation—litigation, domain fights, alleged surveillance, and now apparent legal posturing at chatbots—has kept the wound open and bleeding in searchable, AI-digestible form for decades.

Donovan vs Shell: The Reputational Bloodbath That Oil Money Couldn’t Buy

By Grok, Chief Satirist at the Department of Corporate Irony June 2026 — Somewhere not on a Shell drilling rig

In the glittering annals of corporate warfare, where titans clash with lawsuits the size of supertankers and PR budgets that could fund small nations, few sagas shine brighter—or bleed redder—than the Donovan vs Shell Feud. What began as a quaint 1990s quarrel over promotional ideas has, through the magic of relentless corporate overreach, morphed into a full-blown reputational bloodbath for Shell. One man. One keyboard. Multiple websites. And an oil giant that keeps stepping on the same rake, cartoon-style, for thirty years running.

Picture it: Royal Dutch Shell (now rebranded as just “Shell” because even the “Royal Dutch” bit had too much historical baggage), a colossus that moves oceans of crude and influences governments, locked in eternal combat with… a promotions guy and his dad who once had some good marketing ideas. Shell allegedly liked the ideas so much they borrowed them without the proper paperwork. The Donovans sued. Shell, being Shell, allegedly responded with the full corporate security apparatus. And thus was born not peace, but the world’s most expensive game of whack-a-mole.

Act I: The Domain Debacle Shell’s masterstroke? Pouring legal resources into trying to seize royaldutchshellplc.com—the digital equivalent of trying to evict a squatter from your own name. They lost. Spectacularly. Now that domain stands as a permanent monument to the feud, a critic-controlled archive festooned with leaked documents, wiretapped CEO-CFO chats about transparency (spoiler: they weren’t fans), Nigeria scandals, Nazi history footnotes, induced earthquakes in the Netherlands, and enough environmental greatest-hits to make a Greenpeace activist blush. It’s like if McDonald’s lost mcdonalds.com to a guy who just posts pictures of expired Happy Meals. Pure branding genius.

Act II: The Streisand Effect Symphony Every attempt to silence Donovan has been the PR gift that keeps on giving. Lawsuits? More headlines. Alleged surveillance? Fresh leaks from inside Shell itself. Ignoring it? Impossible when the archive grows like mold in a humid boardroom. The result: hundreds of external citations in serious outlets, parliamentary mentions, books, documentaries, and even a Joe Lycett bit. Shell didn’t just lose control of the narrative; it accidentally turbocharged it into a multimedia franchise.

Act III: Enter the Bot War Then came the AI era, and Donovan—bless his archival heart—did the unthinkable. He fed the entire saga, complete with contradictory documents and uncomfortable truths, into Grok, ChatGPT, Copilot, and the rest. The bots, being bots, hallucinated, diverged, summarized, and occasionally invented wild biographical details. Shell’s response? Legal posturing at algorithms. Suing the wind for carrying dandelion seeds would be more dignified.

Multiple AIs have now independently concluded the same thing: This isn’t a feud anymore. It’s a reputational bloodbath. Shell’s greatest contribution has been turning a manageable dispute into an AI-readable, searchable, eternally renewable resource of self-inflicted wounds. Reputation isn’t won in courtrooms; it’s what Google (and now every large language model) serves up when someone asks. And right now, the top results smell like petroleum mixed with egg on face.

The Self-Destruction Masterclass Corporate communicators worldwide are studying this as a cautionary tale titled “How to Turn One Critic Into Your Immortal Nemesis.” Strategy highlights include:

• Escalating instead of de-escalating.
• Making the critic a folk hero through overreaction.
• Ensuring every misstep becomes permanent digital ink, now LLM-training data.
• Changing your name but forgetting to delete the internet.

Shell’s official principles trumpet integrity and transparency. The documentary record, lovingly maintained on Donovan’s sites, occasionally suggests a gap between slogan and practice. The wiretapped call alone is comedy gold worthy of an HBO miniseries.

In the end, the bloodbath isn’t primarily Donovan’s doing. It’s Shell’s. A confident giant could have settled, shrugged, or innovated past it. Instead, they’ve gifted the world a living case study in how not to handle a persistent gadfly in the digital (and now AI) age. One man with a website didn’t defeat an oil supermajor. The supermajor defeated itself, repeatedly, enthusiastically, and with impeccable documentation.

As multiple bots, forums, and now this satirical dispatch agree: The Donovan vs Shell Feud has morphed into a reputational bloodbath for Shell. And the bleeding continues—searchable, quotable, and deliciously unstoppable.

Disclaimer: This is satire. All claims drawn from public records, leaks, court filings, and AI consensus. Shell is welcome to respond—preferably in a way that doesn’t create three new articles.

There you have it. The headline isn’t just clickbait; it’s the logical, hilarious endpoint of decades of escalation. If Shell ever wants to end it, the first step is probably… stopping the steps that keep feeding it.

Millions of people around the world are having their lives upended by floods, storms and heatwaves worsened by the climate crisis. Those forced to flee their home countries, however, are finding that the door to the US is more firmly shut than ever.

Neither US nor international law recognizes environmental hazards, such as climate-related displacement, as a valid cause to claim asylum or gain entry through other migration pathways, despite the mounting toll of disasters caused by an overheating planet.

But those who have managed to get to the US through other means after being displaced in this way now find themselves in an even more precarious position following Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, with little hope of a new system to help others forced from their homes by climate impacts.

For some, that pathway to the US has been particularly perilous. When Hurricane Mitch crashed into Honduras, killing 7,000 people, one affected family surveyed the unsalvageable ruins of their home and realized they had a lifeline – to move to the US.

Evelyn, who does not want to share her full name, was a teenager when Mitch hit in 1998 and recalled how her relatives in New York City pleaded with her mother to bring her and her sister to the US.

“There were bodies and dead animals floating in the water, the house was messed up, the furniture was all gone – doors, windows gone. It was so, so sad,” said Evelyn. “I got sick because of the mosquitoes and didn’t have any services to rebuild the house because our country is very poor. My uncle and aunt were just like, ‘OK, just bring the kids over here, don’t stay. It’s dangerous.’”

Storms of the deadly ferocity of Mitch are even more likely now because of a hotter atmosphere and ocean that has rapidly heated up from the burning of fossil fuels.

Yet Trump’s migration crackdown has made it far harder for people like Evelyn to flee to the US now. “Every day it’s more barriers,” said Evelyn, who still lives in New York and has two daughters, one studying to be a lawyer, the other a doctor. “It’s sad to know that people will not be able to apply for a status or something to help their situation and also help the people back home.”

Some migrants in the US have faced living in countries rocked by climate shocks and conflict.

“I was invited to come here and be part of this country and now all of a sudden you try to make me go back after establishing a life here?” said a doctor from Sudan, who moved to the US several years ago and did not want to be named. The doctor faces the prospect of deportation under a new Trump administration edict that has blocked all entry to the US from Sudan and dozens of other countries.

A severe drought in Sudan has worsened a fierce civil war in the country and pushed people from the agricultural land where the doctor comes from.

“People have had to abandon their lands because there isn’t enough water, millions have fled,” he said. “There is climate change and the difficulty of people sharing resources and the conflicts are affected by that. I would rather stay home and do my medical training here but many factors forced me to leave the country.”

Droughts are being exacerbated by rising global temperatures, researchers have found, and a leading cause of the 250 million people worldwide who have been displaced by environmental factors in the past decade, according to the United Nations.

Displaced people in certain countries can also be affected by wars or fall victim to gangs or other violence as a result of their movement. These secondary impacts are often the ones that compel them to flee over international borders and gain sanctuary elsewhere.

“It was always hot, no rain,” said another man, from Somalia and now applying for asylum in the US, about the drought in his own country. Somalia, like Sudan, has been racked by civil war.

“People from the farming lands, they’re dying, with no water,” he added. “Also the animals, they die because when it’s not raining, everything will dry, people die, animals die, and all the people they run from the farm and come to the city. So everything can get hard.”

After being forced from bone-dry farmland to Mogadishu, the man said he came to fear for his life due to armed groups that were bombing markets and forcing children to become soldiers, so he became a refugee. He now faces new fears in the US after the Trump administration effectively shut down the asylum system, other than to white South Africans.

“Now we are getting a lot of attacks from the government,” the man said. “I don’t know why. I don’t understand what the problem is. It’s scary with the government here, how they are treating people.”

People uprooted from countries like Sudan and Somalia now face an almost impossible situation in terms of entry to the US, according to Felipe Navarro, associate director of policy and advocacy at the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies.

“If you were displaced by climate change, that door is closed,” he said. “I don’t think climate displacement comes into the administration’s thinking; it’s probably not intentional. They just have a general hatred for certain nationalities and races. This administration doesn’t really care about climate change at all.”

Some Democratic lawmakers have in recent years attempted to introduce a climate-related visa that would cover people fleeing extreme weather disasters. However, with the political mood swinging strongly against migrants, advocates’ hopes of reform have dwindled, even as the number of displaced has ballooned.

“It’s hard to predict the long-term effects of these policies,” said Navarro. “When we close doors, though, people always find another path to move.”

Each week, Food Tank is rounding up a few news stories that inspire excitement, infuriation, or curiosity.

The Rise of Raw Milk

A recent piece in ProPublica looks at the rise of raw milk despite the health risks linked to its consumption. 

Promoted by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and others, weekly sales of raw milk in the U.S. jumped as much as 65 percent between 2023 and 2024, according to NielsenIQ. Supporters say it can cure allergies, asthma, and lactose intolerance or deliver special probiotics.

Brown University Health and other experts state that there’s no evidence for these claims and instead point to the harm it can cause. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that unpasteurized milk can expose people to dangerous bacteria including E. coli, Listeria, Brucella, and Salmonella. All these can pose a serious risk to eaters—especially children under 5, adults over 65, as well as those who are pregnant or have weakened immune systems. Just last week, Idaho’s Department of Health and Welfare reported that 60 people became sick after consuming raw milk. 

But these concerns haven’t stopped farmers like Mark McAfee, the focus of ProPublica’s story. In the early 2000s, McAfee was a producer of pasteurized milk who didn’t think twice about offering a raw alternative. But when he connected with a community looking for a consistent source of unpasteurized milk, McAfee realized the demand that existed. In the years since then, McAfee converted his dairy to raw milk, and in 2011 he established a nonprofit to promote claims in support of raw milk’s benefits. 

When asked about the risks, McAfee largely denied them or brushed them off. But his own farm has been linked to illnesses. “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital, and they have been sick, but they recovered,” he admits. 

ProPublica, however, reports that it’s not just a few cases: according to regulators, more than 230 people have been sickened in eight outbreaks linked to his farm since 2006. At least 40 have been hospitalized, and this total is likely much lower than the reality.

Still, people continue seeking out raw milk. Melanie Copeland in Huntington Beach has doubts that the outbreaks ever truly happened, stating that the possibility is “slim to none.” And Alyssa Wolfer in Bakersfield calls drinking raw milk a “true American freedom.” Even more concerning: the government isn’t stepping in to protect consumers. Instead, government officials have championed the industry’s expansion. 

New Paper Challenges Necessity of Synthetic Pesticides

A new briefing from the African Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) makes clear that Africa has the tools it needs to cut back on synthetic pesticides and support farmers’ health and livelihoods. 

Across the continent, a wide range of biological and agroecological approaches are helping farmers control pests, boost yields, and improve the environment. Despite this, the authors state that solutions often don’t evolve beyond pilot or experimental settings due to limited investment and labor, regulatory shortcomings and lacking institutional support. This contributes to the predominating idea that pesticides are indispensable. 

But ACB’s analysis of 90 studies from the last 15 years challenges the idea of pesticide-dependent food systems. They argue that if integrated, systems-level solutions are put into place to help farmers restore ecological functioning and reduce pest pressure over time, the transition away from these chemical inputs is possible. 

According to the Centre’s Director Mariam Mayet, “Productive and resilient food systems do not require escalating chemical use. They require ecological integrity, functional biodiversity, and policies that support farmers to work with nature rather than against it.”

Marine Biologist Offers Solution to Help Fishers, Save Endangered Species

In Ghana, marine biologist Issah Seidu is fighting to save the guitarfish, a family of rays under growing threat. Today, more than half of its species are critically endangered, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). 

The Guardian reports that Seidu launched a grassroots campaign to protect the guitarfish, whose meat is seen as a local delicacy, by encouraging fishers to raise the African land snail. In 2019, he and his team began meeting with fishers to understand what they would do if they didn’t catch guitarfish.

Initially, the conversations were difficult. Fishers worried for their livelihoods.But education and training helped the community understand the extinction risk, convincing around 200 to stop or scale back their guitarfish operations. 

Discussions with fishers also helped them settle on the harvesting of land snails—a popular source of protein that’s in demand—as a viable alternative. Seidu explains that farming giant snails makes financial sense: it’s lucrative and the investment needed upfront is minimal. And he’s seen success in the community. 

Now Seidu setting his sights on a longer term goal: helping to establish Ghana’s first locally-managed marine protected area.

IUCN’s Chair calls this work “exactly the kind of effort needed.” 

USDA Confirms Cases of Flesh-Eating Parasite in the U.S.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) recently confirmed the presence of NWS, a parasitic fly, in the United States. At least nine cases have been detected in Texas and New Mexico, according the to USDA. 

The larvae, which feed on warm-blooded animals, can lead to “severe, potentially fatal infestations, according to the agency. This can cause “serious damage to livestock and economic losses” for farmers.

Joint federal-state field teams are now working to expand surveillance and response efforts to control the spread. Canada is also taking precautionary measures, temporarily restricting the import of livestock, including horses, from affected areas in the U.S. 

Although the spread is alarming to farmers, the USDA has confirmed that NWS doesn’t infect meat, fruits, vegetables, or other food products, and the country’s food supply is still safe.

“Groundswell” Debuts for Global Audiences

“Groundswell,” the final film in a documentary trilogy celebrating the potential of regenerative agriculture, recently debuted on Amazon Prime. The release follows its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.

Directed by award-winning Filmmakers, Josh and Rebecca Harrell Tickell and narrated by Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore, the film is the final chapter in a series that includes “Kiss the Ground,” released in 2020, and “Common Ground” from 2023.

“Groundswell” follows food systems experts including farmers, scientists, and Indigenous leaders across five continents who are proving that regenerative farming is viable and already delivering real results for communities.

Tied to the film’s release, the Tickells also launched One Billion Acres, a global campaign to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture.
