Royal Shell Begins Bodo Compensation Talks

In this case, Shell acknowledged their responsibility for the twin oil spills, which leaked nearly 600,000 barrels worth of oil into the delta, nearly obliterating the Bodo fishing communities. Still, the oil firm has resisted remunerating the fishermen for their lost livelihoods; a Shell spokesperson said the talks would focus on the number of people affected, the actual financial loss suffered, and the amount of time for which those affected should be compensated.

Are there any responsible and ethical oil companies?  This makes me so sick.
