George Baily<p>As soon as anyone actually invents carbon capture that works, there is zero chance that C is being sequestered somewhere.

Rhinos Worry Me<p>I'm passing this on from Reclaim The Power, a largely UK-based group fighting against dirty power stations.<br>---</p><p>Back in summer, Drax stole £60k of kit meant for our family friendly camp. Now they want to rob every household of £1,526 for their tree burning scam.</p><p>We are in a critical window to stop the Drax in their tracks, with a decision imminent from Ed Miliband. Without these subsidies, Drax's tree burning scam cannot continue. We must take action now, to shut Drax down, fund a worker led transition and facilitate reparations from Drax to the communities harmed.</p><p>There are three things you can do stop Drax:</p><p>1.
