Windfall tax debate rages! BP has joined Shell in revealing record annual profits ... figures will further inflame the debate on whether big oil and gas firms should be handing more money back ... through windfall taxes!

They raise gas prices and blame it on Russia ... they drill, blast and pump oil with total inpunity ... they ask for and receive subsidies ... and ... at the same time ... they are making windfall profits!

ESG has basically told them to stop doing exploration. So they're not burning money doing that. Hence the higher profits. ESG also led to a huge electricity problem in Germany this winter. So they spent $500B buying crude oil and nat gas... apparently people like to be warm

I can't believe you support an escalation of war in Ukraine. Don't you know what happened in 2014?

Profit is all that matters in Capitalism, the planets resources are only there for profit.

Yes.

Mm. My oldest daughter's first bf freshman track team his parents owned a BP.

Our nation & economy rely heavily on fossil fuels, at least for now. So much so that those fuels are truly an integral part of our infrastructure and as such, we should NOT allow them to price gouge while raking in billions in PROFITs each & every quarter.

And consumers in the process.
