We drove by the Amite wood pellet facility owned by Drax in Gloster, Mississippi. This sprawling compound is dangerously close to the community and has been fined $2.5 million for failing to adhere to environmental standards.
This facility clearcuts forests, turns them into little pellets, and ships them overseas to be burned for electricity at an industrial scale in one of the biggest greenwashes of the century. This kind of energy is bad for our forests, communities, and climate.
