A dared move from #philips to #opensource #3d printable spare parts of their products. A risk of reduced sales on the short term, but long term client loyalty? What other well known companies except Prusa did this before them? #sustainability

BP shuns renewables in return to oil and gas The energy giant has announced its strategy after rivals also rowed back on green energy plans.

The scientific consensus does not compete with the corporate greed. You can disregard quotes on the #BP corporate website of renewables and power such as "We’re increasing investment into the transition to lower #carbon #energy" www.bbc.com/news/article... #climate
