Thinking about this topic a bit more, I think the original statement was written by someone that works for Shell...
Why target Esso and BP? Not as if they are any different to any of the other oil explorers/refiners/retailers.
If you want to stop the nations dependence on costly fossil fuels - start walking. Or get on your bike. And stop buying plastic products. And switch off your central heating. And your computer.
In fact, go live in a tent in your back garden - just don't use any gas to heat up your beans (that is generally a byproduct of the extraction of oil).
Me, I'll keep using electricity and fuel for as long as I can afford it. And when I can't I'll be living in the tent next door!
