biofuel
Drax got an envioronmental subsidy of £789m in 2018 for the
huge pollution and envrionmental damage it makes buring wood
But we should be subsidising genuine renewables - wind, sun etc -
not burning carbon fuels like wood and coal
Drax's "decabonisation" project simply means switching to
other carbon fuels - wood chip and gas with little or no decrease in carbon
emissions
"#axedrax not forests, communities and the climate'
XR (Extinction Rebellion) protesters joined in the protest
'Divest from Biomass' . It would make some sense to use annual growth
plants, but not trees that have taken years to grow
Burning wood as Drax goes is at least as damaging to the environment
as burning fossil fuels
'Stop subsidisingburning Wood & Coal'
'drax - This dinosaur munches whole trees'. Forests that have taken
hundreds of years to mature are being uprooted for Drax
and it is very definitely NOT GREEN
