For those unfamiliar, this involves:

- Cutting down trees that have sucked up carbon as they grew
- Burning them for energy
- Capturing the carbon that results from burning
- Transporting the carbon
- Injecting it underground
- Guarding it for the next few thousand years at least
ember-energy.org Ember @ember-energy.org · 3d
NEW | A single carbon removal project at a biomass power station In the UK could cost £30 BILLION in government subsidies.

This would cost more than the UK government plans on spending for carbon capture programmes over 25 years.

Yet planting rows of trees around vines can drought- & heat-proof them while keeping production up w/o irrigation

This is why the Centre is failing. At least the Right say they are bastards and then duly are bastards (and their base love it). The Centre say they are the good guys, but then are hypocritical bastards anyway (and their base loathe it).

All the Right Wing apologists are cheering the fall in UK immigration announced today while missing what could be a huge problem - 99% of emigrants are under the age of 35. That’s a big brain drain.

“Govt’s propaganda machine is working overtime to perpetuate the false narrative that nature blocks development,” say Wildlife Trusts, with “confected outrage about a fish disco”

The claim that a system to avoid killing fish at Hinkley C is slowing development weak

Does ‘fish disco’ show we’re dancing to the wrong tune on regulations?
Hinkley Point C’s fish protections have been criticised as a waste of money but environmental charities said the outrage was manufactured
