#draxpowerplant — Public Fediverse posts

Looking at the fuel types used to supply electric power to our region this morning, I see the picture is worse than normal. Not only do we have #fossilfuels supplying nearly everything, the highest percentage is #biomass. The problem here is that the mighty #draxpowerplant runs mainly on *imported* wood pellets which is largely imported from the USA by sea. So, now that we have a war/conflict, how will the disruption to shipping in general affect the UK's power capability. But hey, isn't it lucky we have gas to fall back on! 🤦‍♂️
