Roses are red. Violets are blue. I’m sick of your lies and your pollution, too. 💔 “Valentine’s Day is supposed to be for love for the heart, but mine is filled with congestion from the pollution in Gloster.” – Carmella Causey #biomass #CutCarbonNotForests

There are many more land-efficient ways to produce #energy than growing #biofuels. Crops convert less than 1% of sunlight into biomass; #solarpanels convert around 20%. And using #electricity is more efficient than using liquid fuels: hannahritchie.substack.com/p/biofuels-v... #landuse #biomass

Burning wood pellets for power receives billions in subsidies, but according to scientists, it may not be clean energy. Companies like Drax are clear-cutting forests and trees for energy and harming communities in the process. www.forbes.com/sites/kensil...

TFW the dirtiest energy technology takes all the low-carbon subsidies.

The UK Government is paying Drax to make climate change worse. #CutCarbonNotForests www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-UB...

A carbon capture project at Drax would blow the UK's entire carbon capture budget, and then some. As the Chancellor is delivering her Budget, can the UK really afford £30 billion on Drax's tree burning? www.energylivenews.com/2025/11/26/d... #CutCarbonNotForests

Woody biomass power is under scrutiny like never before. www.semafor.com/article/10/2... #CutCarbonNotForests

Today a new report is published showing that just 5 economies spent nearly $250 billion on biomass subsidies over 22 years. environmentalpaper.org/wp-content/u... It’s time to Cut Subsidies, Not Forests and to #CutCarbonNotForests #BigBadBiomass

It’s time to STOP subsidising #BigBadBiomass that is destroying forests, polluting people’s air, and making climate change worse. Cut Subsidies, Not Forests! #CutCarbonNotForests #BigBadBiomass

Residents of Gloster, Mississippi are calling for an end to Drax’s pollution of their air. tinyurl.com/3nvbhjax #BigBadBiomass #CutCarbonNotForests

Today Cut Carbon Not Forests stands alongside communities in the southeast US as they resist Drax attempts to seek a permit to increase their air pollution of their communities. This is driven by UK biomass demand. stopburningtrees.org/resource/ope... #CutCarbonNotForests

Want to get into biomass burning? We've done our research and put together our top 3️⃣ tips for how to burn the world's forests in power stations. 🎯🌳🔥 #CutCarbonNotForests

Alex Sobel MP says he agrees with Dale Vince that the Government should stop paying Drax to burn trees. Cutting down forests to feed Drax incurs a huge carbon cost | Drax | The Guardian www.theguardian.com/business/202... #CutCarbonNotForests

It's far better to put effort into changing how we heat our homes and travel. But billions spent on burning trees in power stations are a waste of money. #CutCarbonNotForests www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One of the many types of wildlife put at risk by biomass. #CutCarbonNotForests

Here's a US pellet mill that produces biomass, which is then sent to UK power stations. Isn't it incredible that cutting down forests, turning them into pellets, shipping them thousands of miles, and setting them on fire, is completely carbon neutral?! #CutCarbonNotForests

We're learning so much about bioenergy - here's one of the trucks that carries trees from the forest so as they can be turned into 'sustainable' wood pellets. #CutCarbonNotForests

The UK burns wood pellets in its power stations. Those wood pellets are made in mills in the southeast US. The mills are often in the heart of or right next to communities. They pollute people's air and contribute to health issues, and regularly breach environmental permits. #CutCarbonNotForests

This week we're continuing our delve into bioenergy - a new technology that promises to create 'clean' power by burning forests. #CutCarbonNotForests

In a new series we're exploring different renewable energy sources. First up is clean, green, totally 100% sustainable (don't worry, we asked Drax) BIOENERGY. For those who don't know, that's... *checks notes* burning trees in power stations. 🌳🔥 #CutCarbonNotForests
