'huge', not "Hugh"!

We all know that renewables are the future, so a move towards that is somewhat inevitable. But we do not live in the future, we live in the present. Currently, the need is for reliable, 24-hour and secure sources of energy, which can mostly come from oil and gas. So, BP ought to be investing in its inevitable future from Hugh profits now from petro-carbons. Surely, a win-win, now and for the future? But to turn its back on oil before the renewable are in place is as reckless as it is dumb.

Price even!

Good morning!

Proce just tipped into the positive.8-))

The slight fall from this morning well and truly reversed with the price of a BP share inching towards 490p following OPEC believing that demand feom China will rise.

A fiver this week or next?

What "plan"?

It is merely a press release by a think-tank, nothing to do with the Government.

Not quite, Jakers!

Whilst November 2022 may have been slightly positive, the other months were negative, so the quarter was negative overall. Officially, if we have two touching quarters of falls, then we are in recession. So, nothing has changed, alas.

Why is the BP share price down when Shell and Centrica are up?

Harmonica £4.90.

price, not "proce"!

Hi Causal,

I am wondering how and when China can get through the Covid-19 epidemic given that its vaccination programme is poor in terms of quantity (a low take up) and quality (using its own vaccines, rather than the proven Western alternatives, such as Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna)? Letting natural immunity take its course is out of the question, as it would paralyse the healthcare system and the economy.

So China is likely to prove a drag on the world economy and the proce of oil for the foreseeable future...

Above a fiver now!

Why has Brent risen so much today?

Charlie156,

If you really do need to make an ad hominem attack, at least get the grammar ccorrect or we shall be left wondering who the "cretin" really is?!

"Your a cretin" (sic)!

That should be 'You are...' or 'You're a...'.

Best not to make needless insults; they add nothing much, frankly.

Tinker,

It is becoming increasingly clear that the system for voting for a Tory Party leader is flawed. The MPs wanted one person to be the leader, the Party members another, immediately undermining the winner. Perhaps the system should go back to how it used to be with the MPs alone deciding? Alternatively, reverse the process, with the members whittling the field down to two and the MPs then selecting the leader?

Russia, Meoryou, has a capitalist system and a kleptocracy more akin to corrupt fascist governments. There is nothing remotely communist in the country.

Meoryou,

Russia is in NO way communist!

It will slow down in the winter due to heavy snowfall.

So long as Putin remains at the top and the West funds the Ukraine, then this will go on and on.

JWD222,

On what basis do you think that the Ukraine-Russia war will be over any time soon?

BP Investor,

Teacher indeed!

What does ESG stand for?

By the way, the plural of 'level' is 'levels', not "level's" (sic).

Likewise, 'divis', not "divi's". Hope these help!
