#WaffleHouse Is Getting 400-kW DC Fast-Chargers
#BPPulse, the #EV wing of #BritishPetroleum, is cagey about some of the details of its new EV effort. The company says it'll be installing chargers at Waffle Houses in #Florida, #Georgia, and #Texas, and that "other locations in the South and Southeast" will also be included. Each #restaurant will get six charging bays equipped with a mix of CCS and NACS connectors.

In 1901, a millionaire London socialite, negotiated an oil concession with the shah (the king of Iran). He financed this with capital he had made from mines in Queensland.
In 1908, the employees struck oil.
The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was the #UK's "single largest overseas asset" and a "source of national pride" in the 1940s.
In 1951, it was nationalized by the Iranian Parliament. The British cabinet organized a worldwide embargo of Iran.
In July 1952, the Royal Navy intercepted the Italian tanker Rose Mary and forced it into the British protectorate of Aden on the grounds that the ship's petroleum was stolen property. News that the Royal Navy was intercepting tankers carrying Iranian oil scared off other tankers and effectively shut down oil exports from Iran.
The #MI6 and the #CIA organized a "coup d’État" in 1953.
In 1954, the company was renamed to The #BritishPetroleum Company.#history #mining #imperialism #Britain #oilAndGas #oil #Gulf #fossilFuels #mining #extraction #Queensland

Behind #Israel’s ‘end game’ for #Gaza: Theft of #OffshoreGas reserves
By Betsey Piette
November 14, 2023"In 1999, #BritishGas (BG) discovered the existence of natural gas in the #GazaMarineFields, 20 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza, at a depth of 610 meters below the surface. Further exploration by BG through two successful wells — Gaza Marine 1 and Gaza Marine 2 — determined the field could contain up to 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. (EgyptOil-Gas.com, April 5, 2018)
[Fast forward to 2022...]
"On June 18, [2022], Israel gave preliminary approval for the development of a gas field off the coast of Gaza, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming progress would hinge on 'preserving the State of Israel’s security and diplomatic needs' and coordination with the Palestinian Authority and neighboring Egypt. At the same time, Hamas official Ismail Rudwan told Reuters: 'We reaffirm that our people in Gaza have the rights to their natural resources.'
"Two months before Oct. 7, [2023], the Pentagon began building a $35.8 million troop facility in Israel’s #NegevDesert, 20 miles from Gaza, allegedly as a radar site to monitor for missile attacks on Israel. The base is part of a 'secret' U.S. military presence in Israel. (The Intercept, Oct. 27)
"Since Oct. 7, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that Israel intends to kill as many Palestinians as possible in order to pressure others to leave the Gaza Strip and move to the Sinai in Egypt.
"Netanyahu has been adamant in refusing to order a cease-fire to let in aid to stop the horrific genocide being carried out in Gaza.
"The people of Gaza are well aware, as their grandparents experienced with the 1948 Nakba, that once Israelis forcefully remove Palestinians from Palestinian land, returning is a near impossibility.
"Israel’s genocidal war on Palestinians has not stopped the Israeli regime’s plans for further oil and gas exploration. On Oct. 29, Israel announced that it awarded 12 licenses for exploring additional offshore natural gas fields to six companies, including #BritishPetroleum and Italian energy giant #Eni. These awards show that Israel has no intention of letting the genocide it is carrying out against Gaza’s people interfere with its ongoing theft of Palestinian resources."

Well, this explains a lot... Any excuse to drill on disputed lands, eh?
#Israel has just given #BP licences to drill for gas off the coast of #Gaza. So, people blockaded its head office
The Canary
8 December 2023"On Wednesday 6 December, dozens of activists from #FossilFreeLondon assembled outside BP’s London headquarters to protest Israel’s approval of 12 new licences for #NaturalGas exploration off the west coast of Gaza to six companies, including BP.
"BP not only received this licence but is also set to acquire 50% of the Israeli #DelekGroup-owned #NewMed, who have also been granted a licence. NewMed owns 45% of #Leviathan, the largest gas field in the Mediterranean, situated off the coast of Israel.
"Israel’s occupation of the #GazaStrip denies the besieged population access to natural resources within its waters, in violation of international law.
"Activists held signs linking the oil and gas company to Israel’s continued bombardment of Gaza and shouted 'stop fuelling genocide' as well as 'profits from oil but none from aid, Gazan genocide is British made.”

#cambiamentoClimatico, non ascoltate gli attivisti, ma le compagnie petrolifere.
Il CEO di #BritishPetroleum nel 1997, su pressione dell' opinione pubblica preoccupata, ammette tutto:
"c'è una influenza umana riconoscibile sul clima e un collegamento tra la concentrazione di anidride carbonica e l'innalzamento della temperatura"
Negli anni seguenti cambia il clima politico, e la negazione e la normalizzazione tornano dominanti

#carbonFootprint, #improntaCarbonica sapete chi ha reso famoso il concetto? #BP, #BritishPetroleum com una campagna pubblicitaria multimilionaria
È una delle strategie con cui le compagnie petrolifere distraggono dalle soluzioni strutturali, puntando sulle responsabilità individuali.
#Eni ha fatto la sua parte con la campagna Eni+1: per fare la differenza Eni ha bisogno di Chiara, che usa la bici in città (chi non lo fa è il vero colpevole)
