RT: @graceblakeley The Iran war has given BP its highest profits in 18 years.
It has cost US households $2,000, and UK households £2,400.
Fossil capitalism is based on a systematic transfer of wealth from workers to fossil capitalists.

@ZackPolanski Unfortunately, the same situation in France with Total ... and elsewhere, for sure. Meanwhile, conservative and right politicians in several countries are against an excess profit tax!
@ZackPolanski You hear about the oil companies making money, but high gas and diesel prices are a huge drag on most other types of economic activity. Trump's folly has cost the US and the UK economies hugely. Oil is a boat anchor chained around our necks.
