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.
