Apparently BP used to mean "Beyond Petroleum" but now it may need to be rebranded as "Back to Petroleum".
Apparently the bottom line didn't support the speed of transition attempted, so now the priorities have been readjusted to reduce the speed to a more affordable pace. We just don't know (but we can guess) whether that new pace will turn negative soon enough ...
CDN reports on this new and (in certain quarters) unexpected reality.
Meanwhile in Germany (where they are more enlightened and do things so much better than in the UK) they aren't at all inclined to go back to fossil fuels despite the need to fuel a resurgent industrial war machine to take on the dastardly Russians and push them once and for all out of the Ukraine.
I would have thought that in the circumstances they would be pulling back into service every power station they could lay their hands on regardless of fuel usage, but apparently the green project has been prioritised even over their need to defend themselves against the imminent threat of invasion from the East.
