UK's single biggest source of CO2 emissions, subsidised by taxpayers (and responsible for deforestation and toxic pollution in North America, even before they set fire to anything... ) Good clear article in advance of AGM. Protestors always show up, but sounds like the board will give it a miss this year #StopBurningTrees #AxeDrax #UKPolitics

A new report suggests it is “highly likely” that Britain’s biggest power plant sourced some wood from ecologically valuable forests as recently as this summer.
Drax, Britain’s single biggest source of carbon emissions, has received billions of pounds in subsidies from burning biomass derived largely from wood.

Drax was to have been the target of a #ReclaimThePower protest, preemptively stopped by police action in Aug'24.

"The Public Accounts Committee has said that biomass generators have been left to “mark their own homework” when it comes to proving that their fuel met the sustainability standards set by the subsidy scheme."

Drax: UK power station burns wood from rare forests.
This is not new news, but glad the BBC has finally picked it up.
We need to #axedrax, it’s doing more harm than good.

Drax announces £150m share buyback after record profits https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/apr/26/drax-announces-150m-share-buyback-after-record-profits?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
These fuckers are chopping down virgin Canadian forest, turning them into pellets, shipping them to UK, burning them to make energy and have the temerity to call it ‘carbon neutral’. Oh, and UK gov gives them £1.7m PER DAY in subsidy to do so. No wonder it’s so bloody profitable.
