✊ Drax is falling apart. Their profits are plummeting. People power has forced them to close pellet mills and they are desperately pivoting to take advantage of the government's AI cash cow.
✊We need your support now more than ever! 🔥

🤑 Drax will be holding their Annual General Meeting (AGM) in London.
👀 Unlike previous years, this year the Drax board and executive are too scared to turn up in person.

Drax, the UKs single biggest emitter, is now trying to build data centres. If this goes ahead, it'll mean more forests destroyed, communities polluted & carbon emissions.

“We have a real chance to put the final nail in the coffin of Drax and the biomass industry. But they’re never going to be the ones to put themselves in the ground. It’s our job to fight them to the very end.”

Converted from coal to biomass in 2018, Lynemouth burns up to 1.5 million tonnes of wood every year. The UK’s 2nd biggest such power station also sources wood from Drax’s pellet mills in British Columbia. thenortherneco.substack.com/p/stop-burni... @stopburningtrees.bsky.social
Never trust Drax; be it with jobs or climate solutions. Drax will always prioritise profit above all else.
Responding to this will require a thread, not yet sure how long!

Let's start with what we know...
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...
It’s #CleanAirNight! Did you know that wood burning is the most polluting way to heat your home? Air pollution from domestic burning contributes to nearly 2,500 deaths in the UK each year.

Why not kick start 2026 by taking action against Drax?

✊ The tides are turning. Drax is being sued by communities they operate in and UK workers, as well as their own shareholders. It's high time they were held to account...
❗ BREAKING: DRAX HAS VIOLATED U.S ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS 18,000 TIMES ❗
📰 A new report by land and climate review shows even more brazen violations by the UK's biggest carbon polluter Drax, who continue to choke and harm communities in the southern U.S whilst profiting from UK billpayers.
✊ The university of York has a responsibility to lead by example when it comes to the climate crisis and this means cutting ties with polluters. ✍️ Add your name to our open letter if you are a graduate.

The corporation is also under investigation by the Financial Conduct Authority, and has violated environmental regulations 11,378 times since 2014 in the US alone.
☣️ Drax is currently being sued by communities in the southern U.S for poisoning residents, as well as by it's own workers in the UK for failing to protect employees from wood dust pollution.
🧑🎓 Are you a York uni graduate?
👀 The university claims to uphold the values of sustainability, human rights and academic integrity. 🔥 Yet, the university has partnered with the UK's biggest carbon polluter, Drax, for a bid to build an AI data centre
#uoygraduations #york
This is absurd. Drax is currently under investigation by the FCA, being sued by communities in Mississippi AND workers here in Yorkshire over relentless air pollution - and now we're handing them over £1m a day to keep burning trees and destroying our planet.

Govt and Drax have now finalised this contract, with a slightly lower price of £110/MWh in 2012 prices (£153/MWh)
Key points remain as below

Today is International Day of Action on Big Biomass, we're joining @environmentalpaper.bsky.social @stopburningtrees.bsky.social & groups globally to call on governments to Cut Subsidies Not Forests. Take action: tinyurl.com/yz8p2rxx #CutSubsidiesNotForests #AxeDrax #BigBadBiomass #StopBurningTrees
$250 billion in subsidies for #BigBadBiomass supports an industry that undermines efforts to reduce emissions, pollutes communities and degrades forests and biodiversity. Read more environmentalpaper.org/2025/10/burn...
Industrial biomass isn’t clean or green. According to @rachelcarsondc.bsky.social, it’s more carbon-intensive than coal, destroys forests, and harms communities. It’s time to end biomass subsidies & the industry’s expansion. More: rachelcarsoncouncil.org/wp-content/u...
