Documents leaked to Four Corners and the Guardian apparently reveal the mining giant is pretty much doing sweet fark all to reduce emissions despite promising the Nation it would try.
BHP, naturally, refutes these claims and points to a new solar powered novelty desk fan in one of the mine site portable offices as proof of its commitment.
We spoke to an insider who said the portable office had some air con issues, so the company took the opportunity to go green, adding,
“The greenies are never happy! Look at that fan, it runs entirely off the sun, and you’re telling me BHP aren’t doing all they can? Please, we’re doing more than Alcoa at least”
It’s a hard argument to ignore and puts a lot of pressure on Four Corners. However, not everyone in the mining community feels BHP is doing their best, with another insider telling us,
“When I asked if I could also have a novelty desk fan, they said no, there just wasn’t the budget for it, I understand shareholder value is everything but I’m pretty sure big Dave picked up that little piece of shit for $5 off Amazon!”
The plot thickens, it would seem.
