Governments strategy for tackling climate change 
includes proposals for thousands more hectares of 
plants and trees to be grown to burn in power stations

The Governments new climate change plan includes 
annual targets to plant more crops for burning to 
make electricity than woodland.
Green experts have warned that the focus on 
biomass risks distracting from proven 
technologies and increasing inequality in rural areas.

of the Humans, the full movie by Michael Moore. 
Taken down by YouTube. The movie is about the 
lies and hypocrisy of green energy and biomass.

The proposals for greater biomass use are part of 
a major new Government strategy launched last 
month in an attempt to get the UK on target to 
hit 
<https://inews.co.uk/news/net-zero-climate-netzero-global-warming-cop26-1118920?ico=in-line_link>net-zero 
carbon emissions by 2050.

As part of the plans, ministers are making a 
major bet on Beccs, or bioenergy with 
<https://inews.co.uk/news/jeremy-hunt-carbon-capture-budget-pledge-climate-experts-2211506?ico=in-line_link>carbon 
capture and storage.

The technology, which has never been deployed on 
a major scale, claims to generate negative emissions.

The theory given is that the crops for burning 
usually fast-growing grass and trees would absorb 
carbon from the atmosphere while growing, which 
would then be stored underground in perpetuity once they have been burnt.

The technology also promises to provide 
electricity at times when less reliable forms of 
generation such as wind and solar are subdued.
Overall, the energy strategy makes a call to 
plant an additional 9,600 hectares of perennial 
energy crops and 8,900 hectares of woodland 
annually by 2030, increasing to 15,000 extra 
hectares of energy crops and 10,300 hectares of new woodland a year by 2035.

The Climate Change Committee has said that there 
is a place for Beccs in the UKs energy mix. 
However it has warned that the supply of 
sustainable feedstock is limited and that more of 
it needs to come from the UK rather than overseas.

Currently, biomass burning sites without carbon 
capture, such as Drax in North Yorkshire, import their wood from overseas.

Nevertheless, critics have questioned why 
ministers are placing so much emphasis on an 
expensive technology that is yet to be shown to work at the necessary scale.

Dr Lydia Collas, a policy analyst at 
<https://green-alliance.org.uk/>Green Alliance, 
told i: The Government appears to be gambling 
heavily on bioenergy crops, even though these 
provide few environmental benefits beyond 
carbon.<https://inews.co.uk/news/climate-change-forestry-commission-paulownia-plant-carbon-sucking-trees-1363619?ico=in-line_link> 
Planting new woodland, by contrast, is cheaper 
and better for nature and rural communities.

Critics of the biomass plan say finite subsidy 
money should be used to plant woodlands, which 
sequester carbon and also boost biodiversity, 
while energy efforts should focus on cheaper and proven technologies.

We shouldn’t be overcomplicating things. New 
technology will play an important role in 
tackling change, but we need to capitalise on the 
simple yet potentially transformative things 
already available to us, said Dr Collas.

Analysis by Green Alliance showed that, even if 
costs fell significantly, it was still cheaper to 
remove carbon via woodland planting.

As well as potentially distorting the UKs energy 
market, Green Alliance said that the emphasis on 
biomass crops risked channelling taxpayer money 
towards already wealthy farmers and away from poorer ones.

The agricultural land suitable for growing 
biomass crops tends to be of higher quality than 
that used for woodlands, which is often upland 
territory with poor soil, while much of the 
subsidy money would go to power generators.

The Government was approached for comment.

"And I think, in the end, that is the best 
definition of journalism I have heard; to 
challenge authority - all authority - especially 
so when governments and politicians take us to 
war, when they have decided that they will kill 
and others will die. " --Robert Fisk

'From South America, where payment must be made 
with subtlety, the Bormann organization has made 
a substantial contribution. It has drawn many of 
the brightest Jewish businessmen into a 
participatory role in the development of many of 
its corporations, and many of these Jews share 
their prosperity most generously with Israel. If 
their proposals are sound, they are even provided 
with a specially dispensed venture capital fund. 
I spoke with one Jewish businessmen in Hartford, 
Connecticut. He had arrived there quite unknown 
several years before our conversation, but with 
Bormann money as his leverage. Today he is more 
than a millionaire, a quiet leader in the 
community with a certain share of his profits 
earmarked as always for his venture capital 
benefactors. This has taken place in many other 
instances across America and demonstrates how 
Bormann’s people operate in the contemporary 
commercial world, in contrast to the fanciful 
nonsense with which Nazis are described in so much “literature.”

So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish 
participation in Bormann companies that when 
Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv 
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the 
Jewish and German communities of Buenos Aires. 
Jewish leaders informed the Israeli authorities 
in no uncertain terms that this must never happen 
again because a repetition would permanently 
rupture relations with the Germans of Latin 
America, as well as with the Bormann 
organization, and cut off the flow of Jewish 
money to Israel. It never happened again, and the 
pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of 
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an 
Argentinian safe haven, protected by the most 
efficient German infrastructure in history as 
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.'
