British Petroleum (the company behind the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon disaster) is getting out of the wind power business, including its eastern Idaho U.S.A. Goshen North operation near Idaho Falls.
BP will also abandon wind farms in California, Texas, Kansas, South Dakota, Colorado, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
Company officials said it just wasn’t worth it, and they will now focusing solely on petroleum. BP claims to have invested $55 billion USD into wind power, and analysts think that after the sale of their wind farms BP will end up losing most of that investment.
BP is also abandoning its solar power operations!
