British Petroleum is hardly going “Beyond Petroleum”

·        BP spent $100 million on the new logo seen above.  That includes $7 million on design and $25 million per quarter for “rebranding.” 

That’s more than they spent in all of 1999 on renewable energy. 

·        Over the next three years, BP will spend more than $24 billion on oil exploration, extraction, and production. 

Over the same three years they plan to spend just $500 million on renewable energy.

·        BP Amoco will spend $26.5 billion buying ARCO, including $100 million just for lawyer fees.

That’s 588 times more than they spent acquiring their solar division, BP Solarex.

·        In 1998, for every $100 BP spent on oil exploration, 16 cents were spent on solar energy.

·        BP will spend $5 billion in the next five years on oil exploration and development in Alaska alone.

·        50% of the oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez was from BP.

·        BP plans to invest 50 times more money in oil exploration and production than in renewables over the next three years. It will increase oil and gas production by over 40% over the next seven years.

DO YOU THINK THAT BP IS BEYOND PETROLEUM OR BURNING THE PLANET?

Concerned BP Shareholders have introduced a resolution to BP asking them to put their money where their mouth is and come up with a solid plan for renewable energy.

“IMAGINE a world where energy is so clean it causes zero pollution and so simple you hardly know it's there. No sound, no smoke, no CO2 - just pure power. That world is here now. That world is solar.”

The habitants of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Prudhoe Bay would like to see that!

 

 

Call, e-mail, or fax BP and tell them to put their money where their mouth is!
