We just found out the world's biggest forest-burner, Drax, based in the UK, earned £947 milion pounds last year. This gets so much more horrifying when you know about the context (see more)

"Drax has taken the best of what they had left: their peace, #cleanair, and health." Read how #Drax's subsidies in the UK enable its #biomass burning in Gloster, Mississippi, at the expense of the community's health.

We can’t breathe because of a Drax pellet plant subsidised by UK tax
The company is paid up to £1bn a year producing green energy for Britain. But one of its factories has been accused of choking people in America

"With how logging works here in BC, there isn’t really a way for Drax to be operating in these areas and not include old-growth forests in their wood supply. The people of the UK should know that the risk of old-growth trees being cut down to produce wood pellets is higher than ever."

Drax Power Station doesn’t provide low-carbon electricity generation; it is the UK’s biggest single carbon emitter. Let’s be clear: the future isn’t burning forests for energy, there’s nothing clean or green about #Drax. #AxeDrax #StopBurningTrees actionnetwork.org/petitions/sa...

Drax pockets huge ‘green’ subsidies in the UK, but their Mississippi wood pellet plant is killing and harming racialised communities, while the UK Yorkshire plant is our biggest carbon emitter.
