“Vultures circling over BP have chosen renewables as prey” – campaigners react to BP’s green rollback

Commenting on BP’s rollback of green energy pledges, Izzie McIntosh, climate campaign manager at Global Justice Now said:

The vultures circling over BP have chosen renewables as their prey. Clean energy would likely spell cheaper bills and better living standards for UK households, but even BP’s £7 billion in profits last year seemingly aren’t enough for super rich investors like Elliott. This profit obsession is why the fossil fuel industry will never be able to decarbonise itself, let alone do so in a way which meets the needs of working people. We need public green energy systems that prioritise communities over profit. The growing calls for a Fossil Fuel Treaty gives us the chance to move toward this in a globally coordinated way, for the public good.”
