For which future does this make sense? BP should know what the elite is planning to do. The development to EV must be disrupted for this to make sense.

i don’t really care about any legacy energy provider so this means nothing to me, they’ll be disrupted soon enough
Yet, they can't exploit us yet.
BP have always paid lip service to EV & Renewables.
The political winds changing just give it an excuse to be more open about this.
Just in time for the second gas crunch.
