BP petrol stations have come under siege from Greenpeace activists who
shut down fuel supplies in protest against the company's “reckless”
pursuit of oil.

Published: 7:33AM BST 27 Jul 2010

The environmentalists claimed to have stopped the fuel supply by
flipping safety switches on the forecourts and then removing them to
prevent the petrol stations from reopening. They also hoisted signs
saying: “Closed. Moving beyond petroleum”.

The protest is an attempt to urge Bob Dudley, who is expected to
replace the outgoing BP chief executive Tony Hayward, to move away
from "his predecessor's obsession with high risk, environmentally
reckless sources of oil".

BP has faced fury from environmentalists over its muddled handling of
the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

I wonder if all the Green Peacers etc all walked to their
demonstrations? You can't use a bike because tires are made with oil.
You can't wear rubber soled or plastic shoes either. They both are made
with oil. Nothing but undyed wool and cotton is allowed because dyes are
made with oil. Really they can't be allowed either since diesel and oil
and gas and coal were used for energy to produce them.

No one is saying oil is bad. The complaint is against the dangerous
ways BP drills for oil.

There's vegetable dyes; dyes long predate oil, after all.
