BP's environmental record in the US is disasterous, regardless of what it did 70 years ago in an earlier incarnation, and regardless of it's PR budget  Beyond Petroleum.  BP has played a decent role in the US wind industry, though perhaps not when measured against its potential or size.  And their technical choices do not evince what one would expect of an engineering company.
