Didn't BP just announce a few days ago that they've made so much money off of petroleum these past year or so that they are scaling back their renewable initiatives?

They can have a lot of profits when they get nationalized and tried at the Hague.

So tired of politicians pretending that we can rely on the same people that put us in this mess to get us out of it.

They'll keep pretending as long as they keep getting their cut of the profits.

I work at a company where because of all this carbon footprint stuff we are introducing measures to reduce it, because that's what customers expect of us now. What I'm trying to say is I don't think there is anything wrong with idea of carbon footprint itself, if applied to places where it matters.

The point of mentioning the carbon footprint is to call BP hypocrites because they were the ones that created it

That's the sound of a company that definitely shouldn't have its assets seized and its executives tried and executed wink wink
