Burns old growth forest from Canada in our UK plant. The rarest & oldest in the world. Environmentally sustainable? No. Just another grubby energy company, interested only in profit. Whilst we have our own paltry plans to plant trees here in the UK, we pay them to trash the Canadian wilderness.

Burns wood to produce UK electricity.
Receives subsidies - will add up to £10bn from 2012 to 2027.
Money straight from public purse to shareholders.
Scam on every count.

Remember this, 60% of benefits go to pensioners, of the other 40%, 40% goes to people who work but are underpaid.
When they are talking about reducing benefits they are talking about your pension/child benefits/child tax credits...
Because that is nearly 80% of it.
