#Drax told a story about going to invent and install #capture of the CO2 from their chimneys, which previous governments accepted to allow them to continue burning #woodPellets.

Now they've given up that story - during the crisis of gas and oil fuel, a handy forcing time.

Nevertheless, time to stop them.
And probably time to build a tall dense clump of wind #turbines close to there, feeding #electricity into the #Grid connection, and making a point.

Data centres’ huge demand for energy can’t be allowed to prop up dirty polluting tree-burning power stations like Drax.

I've always had a soft spot for the short-lived "Jim Starlin-drawn First Appearance Drax" look, when he's much more just a green dude w/a cape and severe Widow's Peak.

A cross-party group of 14 MPs and peers have called on the energy minister to halt the subsidies for Drax, Britain’s biggest power plant, while the financial watchdog, the FCA, investigates the company’s claims about how it sources the millions of tonnes of wood pellets burned to generate electricity.
