The burning of wood pellets at biomass plants such as Drax is highly contentious. Many environmental experts are horrified at the damage done to wild forests both in the US and Europe.
Many experts also believe that biomass plants are not even achieving their stated object of reducing CO2 emissions.
Drax, on the other hand, maintain that they have stringent controls in place to alleviate these doubts.
But whichever side of the argument they are on, you would have thought the Green Party would actually have a policy.
I could not find one in their manifesto, so I asked them! And got this reply:
And this is the page in their manifesto that they refer to:
Biomass? What’s that?
I also contacted the US Green Party, as I imagined they at least would have a policy. No reply!
