Drax chops forests; this is not favourable for a host of natural resources on Planet Earth at a time of climate emergency!! Drax BURNS the wood it has chopped whilst not having the ability or the understanding of how to capture carbon. The answer is to not burn wood in the first place. Burning wood creates pollution. Drax has been receiving massive subsidies for years. That money could have been going to insulate homes so that less fuel is needed. Subsides that went to massive Drax profits could have gone to individuals to help with fuel bills (or even to educate people so they understand how to use less). Overall, chopping and burning wood is NOT carbon neutral.
