<h4><b>Governments strategy for tackling climate change includes
proposals for thousands more hectares of plants and trees to be grown to
burn in power stations</b></h4>By

The Governments new climate change plan includes annual targets to plant
more crops for burning to make electricity than woodland.<br>
Green experts have warned that the focus on biomass risks distracting
from proven technologies and increasing inequality in rural
areas.<br><br>
<h3><b>WATCH:

Humans, the full movie by Michael Moore. Taken down by YouTube. The movie
is about the lies and hypocrisy of green energy and
biomass.</a></i></b></h3>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
<a href="https://inews.co.uk/news/net-zero-climate-netzero-global-warming-cop26-1118920?ico=in-line_link">
net-zero carbon emissions by 2050</a>.<br><br>
As part of the plans, ministers are making a major bet on Beccs, or
bioenergy with
<a href="https://inews.co.uk/news/jeremy-hunt-carbon-capture-budget-pledge-climate-experts-2211506?ico=in-line_link">
carbon capture and storage</a>.<br><br>
The technology, which has never been deployed on a major scale, claims to
generate negative emissions.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
The technology also promises to provide electricity at times when less
reliable forms of generation such as wind and solar are subdued.<br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
Currently, biomass burning sites without carbon capture, such as Drax in
North Yorkshire, import their wood from overseas.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
Dr Lydia Collas, a policy analyst at
<a href="https://green-alliance.org.uk/">Green Alliance</a>, told
<b>i</b>: The Government appears to be gambling heavily on bioenergy
crops, even though these provide few environmental benefits beyond
carbon.<a href="https://inews.co.uk/news/climate-change-forestry-commission-paulownia-plant-carbon-sucking-trees-1363619?ico=in-line_link">
Planting new woodland</a>, by contrast, is cheaper and better for nature
and rural communities.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
Analysis by Green Alliance showed that, even if costs fell significantly,
it was still cheaper to remove carbon via woodland planting.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
The Government was approached for comment.<br>

</a></b>'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.”<br><br>
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.'<br>
