1) Like #BorisJohnson, #NigelAdams is corrupt to the bone. He is a bankrolled shill for Drax, the UK's biggest carbon emitter, located in his former constituency. He has been integral to ensuring that £billions from our energy bills are pocketed by the climate villain🧵
2) GREENWASHING! Between 2012 and 2016, Drax donated more than £60,000 to Nigel Adams, whilst he lobbied the government to divert onshore wind subsidies towards corporations who burn trees for electricity (biomass). This emits more carbon per unit of energy that any fossil fuel.

A thread 🧵 on one of our government's most hypocritical 'climate projects', Drax, and what you can do
Did you know we import millions of trees from around the globe, burn them for energy, and call it renewable?
(1/8)
18% of what we call renewable energy comes from burning wood, a fuel more carbon intensive than coal, in the old coal power station Drax in North Yorkshire
