BP shuts alternative energy HQ | Business | guardian.co.uk .

BP has shut down its alternative energy headquarters in London, accepted the resignation of its clean energy boss and imposed budget cuts in moves likely to be seen by environmental critics as further signs of the oil group moving "back to petroleum".

Which in view of global warming is pretty depressing.

Are we really just going to throw life on earth away because the short term finances don't make sense?

This is the greatest folly of all.
