| Simon Childs: Drax, owner of a massive "renewable" wood-burning power station in north Yorkshire which is the biggest single source of carbon emissions in the UK, has been a regular fixture at party conference fringes for several years now, regularly sponsoring greenwashing panel events. This year, its logo is conspicuous by its absence in Labour's conference programme. Perhaps it is keen to avoid a repeat of the embarrassing scenes last year, when protesters disrupted an event sponsored by Drax, accusing the company of "environmental racism" in the US deep south where it produces its wood pellets. However, that doesn't mean that the company won't make its presence felt through a network of industry bodies and arms-length lobbying groups. |
