While this is a sensible strategy, I do retain some cynicism. "Have been very open about" can sometimes mean "our PR has been very good" while they privately lobby against anything renewable. Hopefully we can take what they're saying at face value though.

Cynicism is almost always a good idea. Companies like Shell (83k employees in 2019 according to wikipedia) are large enough that they can simultaneously have departments trying to diversify into renewables and also have different departments lobbying against renewables. Their willingness to invest billions of dollars in renewables and the surrounding infrastructure does make me hopeful though.
