This appears to be aimed at subsidizing the construction of a gas-burning power plant, rather than achieving a reduction in net CO2 emissions

Britain says a lot of shit.

The fact they are suggesting this is down to Northerners is a new low.

What's that, man in Burnley? BP can offset their horrific environmental track record by exporting their harm to the bottom of the sea?

Sure, that's a great Idea and we love your ferret and whippet.

I believe it's about shoveling money to the oil companies and providing a bit of cover for building a new gas-burning power plant
