Shell provides consumers with billions in gas, consumer sees bill rising | Financial

Amsterdam – Shell made a billion-dollar profit in 2021 on the sharp rise in oil and gas prices. The company trumps all sales expectations. The now wholly British company pays out billions to shareholders, and buys back billions of shares. Consumers, meanwhile, are suffering from high energy prices. Despite all the political pressure, Shell is not going to meet them in this, says CEO Ben van Beurden.
