Looks like Shell Oil’s stockholders are not unanimously in favor of the company’s investment in the tar sands of Alberta, Canada.

As noted in this article (http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/jan/18/shell-shareholders-fury-tar-sands):

A coalition of institutional investors has forced a resolution onto the agenda calling for the Anglo-Dutch group’s audit  committee to undertake a special review of the risks attached to the carbon-heavy oil production at Athabasca in Alberta

Good to know that profits aren’t always investors’ most important concern. Kudos to this group
