As predicted, in the aftermath of US political change, BP is attempting to boost its current share price, by almost doubling its oil and gas production before 2030. It's also slashing $5bn from its previous plans to heavily invest in renewables (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/feb/26/bp-oil-and-gas-spending-green-energy-scale-back). These moves are understandable, in the present financial climate, for a major petrochemicals company whose shares are lagging those of less 'green' competitors. They are, however, highly disappointing for anyone concerned about climate change. They also do nothing for reskilling a workforce for future, well-paid jobs. The anti-green agenda will move the planet into the red zone.
