Michelle Thomas, head of the Clean Energy and Sustainability team at international law firm Eversheds, comments: \u201cThe news that BP has dropped all plans to build wind farms and other renewables schemes in Britain has been suspected for a while. This ties in with shareholder pressure generally in oil and gas to focus on core business or where there are clear financial synergies. The departure of BP and similar players will be seen as having a negative impact particularly for the Round 3 offshore wind programme where their offshore expertise and balance sheet strength are key assets.\u201d BP and Shell have each dropped the\u00c2\u00a0 cleaner alternatives to oil to focus on hydrocarbon fuel &#8211; biofuel and making the most out of the oil they\u2019ve controlled for a long time.
