Apparently, 2 days ago BP just launched a subsidiary called Alternative Energy.  Again they play up the Wind, Hydrogen and Solar, but they include gas-fired power.  They claim that they will invest 8 billion dollars in the next 10 years in this business starting off with an investment of 1.8 billion for the next 3 years - roughly split equally between all four business segments.  

This is great, but it is not a significant chunk of BP's investment capital.  My guess is that it is about 5% of their forecasted capital over that period.

excuse me, but bubba...you f*cking rock.

thx for the infos
