I suspect it’ll be Drax taking legal action against the BBC if anything.
Burning coal adds to carbon in the atmosphere for carbon that has been locked up for millions of years.
What muppets like you and biofuelwatch conveniently forget is that the wood that is converted to biomass would have been burnt anyway (residue from mills, thinnings etc). It would have either been burnt on site or left to decay, releasing that carbon anyway. It’s absolute madness to not try to utilise that to generate power at the same time.
That’s not going backwards, it’s common sense…something you are clearly lacking in.
Furthermore, if you can then capture the carbon from the stack, we can then reach net zero by 2050 as all climate scientists agree we need to do.
