Carbon capture as it's being proposed and implemented will *add* CO2 to the atmosphere - how can that help achieve Net Zero?
(Even if 90% of CO2 from a fossil fuel source were captured (actual results are more like 50%) 10% is emitted. We need green solutions, not blue, grey, whatever)

A thoughtful and well researched report on why burning wood for power (and heat) is a poor choice.
For instance,
- if you think biomass is renewable, maybe you're right, but it takes 60-120 years for the emitted CO2 to be recaptured. In the meantime its an emitter. We can't afford that.
