BP seem to be 2 faced. The were promoting electric vehicle a few tweets ago. They should go into British politics.

BP_plc is only interested in one thing: fossilfuels. Spending in 2018: $16bn; on the record saying plans to deliver 25% more oil + gas by 2021. The greenwashing is 24 carat plated BS. Biodiversity Environment ClimateChange

But of course they did. The Arctic isn't quite fucked up enough yet so bring in BP_plc and they should be able to achieve that in no time. They have form.

BP pushed for Arctic drilling rights after orange man's eating contest

You managed to get Trump in the article, good job... But shouldn’t you send journalists to BP and to the Arctic if you really want to do a good journalistic work about this issue? The dead fish is from the Arctic ?

BP were fined over $60 billion by the US government for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. How are they still going?!

nice

That’s just wrong! We should leave all that oil for Russia to exploit.

of course they did, that is their business. to drill for oil that is. i would expect them to do this. if they didnt do this i would think that something was wrong with their business.

NO LOVE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT I GUESS

Good, less dependency on foreign oil..
