BP made 3-month profit of $8.2bn, which was all cash, and is giving $2.5bn to shareholders via a share buyback. Giving away $2.5bn rather than investing it looks like an invitation by BP to a cash-strapped Sunak government to raise the 25% rate of the “windfall” oil and gas tax

It's indefensible for the BBC to keep inviting Julia Hartley-Brewer onto #bbcqt: she's a climate-denier whose only credential is as a Murdoch mouthpiece & reliable clickbait. They don’t invite flat-earthers on, so why climate-deniers? The BBC should do much better. >RT,to agree!

V2G charging for EV users is seen as essential for combining greater local renewable generation without huge grid upgrade costs. Interesting to see that V2G can significantly increase income for EV owners but hardware costs too high, at bit.ly/3gc9hCq
Encouraging to see new UK targets for cutting carbon emissions as well as record renewable energy generation this spring. But following the disasters of Green Homes Grant and Green Deal, we needs words and policies that can turn into successful delivery.
