We dont take whole trees. You do. And how billions of pounds of our cash is funding this. Logging naturalforests and converting them into pellets to be burned for electricity, that is absolutely insane. Theres no other word for it. This is britains biggest Single Source of electricity. The Drax Power Station in yorkshire used to burn coal, but its switched to burning wood pellets as part of the uks drive to cut Carbon Emissions. And that means the company has received around £6 billion in green subsidies. Theres just one problem. Burning wood pellets actually gives out more Greenhouse Gases than coal. Now, Carbon Dioxide is invisible to the human eye, so you cant actually see all of the carbon coming out of that chimney, but wood burning releases plenty of it, even more than coal. So were actually paying for this Power Station to kick out more Greenhouse Gases than before. And drax is in line to get billions more from the taxpayer. Actually coming out of those chimneys right now is mo

whether that s right. let me show you some pictures i took at drax s nearest pellet plant to you. so i ve come to show our evidence to a local furniture maker and campaigner. there s some big stuff in there, isn t there? you ve got big douglas fir in there. i mean, there is true waste in that pile. let s not pretend that that s100% good wood, but there is a huge proportion of that pile that is usable quality saw logs. that s a nice aspen there. so a little bit of discolouration there, but that s all good wood all around there. i mean, yeah, this is. this is crazy that we re burning it. so you could use these logs in this workshop? 0h, guaranteed. you say that you will not use material that could be used for solid wood products, but that s not true, is it? we re talking about the logs in our yard and when you go there, you see that they re twisted, they re bent. no, some of them are. i ve been there and there s plenty that aren t. what i m saying is our business model works on taking sa

and that helps him to cut through the noise online, and he ll be trying to generate as much controversy as he can, i suspect. and some of those controversies just don t play out on tv. of course, they re pushing out social media clips and they are also plugged into the sun newspaper and the new york post. so, vivian, as we consider whether news broadcasters need to find a route away from linear, do you think this hybrid model that rupert murdoch and piers morgan have come up with could offer a blueprint for others? actually, yes, ithink. in fact, i wish, on behalf of cnn+, they had maybe notjumped in with both feet for this nine figure investment into a full blown channel but rather experimented a bit with these kinds of streaming shows. i m not a big fan of piers morgan but i do think, in terms of the business strategy, it makes a lot of sense and sort of reflects the idea of, let s test and learn along the way what business model works. and one part of the business strategy is to bui
