This is criminal, or should be. It’s definitely immoral. Burning old growth trees for energy should be banned. Biomass is not carbon neutral and it makes nasty air pollution.
Claims of felling 250 year-old trees + shipping them thousands of miles to burn in a power station, releasing fine particulate pollution linked to breathing + heart conditions.
Perhaps, instead of subsidising this, our tax money could go to treating people with those conditions?

Official data from government of British Columbia, along with satellite monitoring, backs claims that a Canadian subsidiary owned by Drax sourced 250-year-old trees to manufacture biomass pellets as recently as this year

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.
COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want?
TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.

Sprich: Geld, das für Klimaschutz gedacht ist, fließt dann in Strafen für zu wenig Klimaschutz.
