BP's oil exploration team swept aside in climate revolution
Nothing escapes the winds of change now sweeping through BP, not even the exploration team that for more than a century powered its profits by discovering billions of barrels of oil.

Charley, sounds more like BP has swept away any pretext of caring about the environment!
In 2019 the company's exploration team was in the Gulf of Mexico, where they discovered 1 billion barrels of crude - and they're pretty damn excited about it:
"The British energy company [BP] has discovered 1 billion barrels of crude at an existing oilfield in the Gulf of Mexico. BP also announced two new offshore oil discoveries and a major new investment in a nearby field.
BP is the Gulf of Mexico’s biggest producer, and it’s making strides to hold that title.
BP now expects its fossil fuel output from the region to reach 400,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by the middle of the next decade. Today, it produces about 300,000 boepd, up from less than 200,000 boepd about five years ago."
BP just discovered a billion barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico
And not a wind turbine in sight. Maybe it's a Brit thing, but here in the States we call them the "winds of hype"!
