In 2007, Steven Chu Thought BP Would 'Help Save the World'
Back in 2007, when U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu was director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, he saw BP as an ally in developing alternatives to transportation fuels like gasoline and as a partner in improving stewardship of the environment (21:18).
At the time, BP had just given $500 million to UC Berkeley and the University of Illinois to develop new sources of energy and reduce the impact of energy consumption on the environment.
News and commentary sites are discussing the clip today. This appears to be the original version (skip to 21 minutes and 18 seconds to see Chu's interview):
