Drax-washing

Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

Drax-washing

Oh dear, looks like they are planning on subsidy-farming for even longer by putting CCS on Drax to enable them to continue to burn trees and claim its carbon neutral, or somehow, "carbon negative". Such an obvious predatory delaying tactic.

Drax is the poster child for doing opposite of what you claim!

Felling trees the other side of the world, shipping it to the UK and burning it in an old coal power station can never be sustainable. Yet here they are gobbling up subsidies that could be used to build wind or solar.
