UK carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) How the government supports the development and deployment of carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) in the UK and internationally.

Why is the UK determined to have carbon capture and storage?
Answer: By having that storage capacity, gas power stations can continue to be used and new ones built and the generating companies continue to base Electricity prices on gas and increase profit margins.

UK doctors want a Β£0.7bn a year pay rise, the NHS is paying Β£32bn a year to Private Healthcare with a profit margin of 30-40%.

Do the maths and tell me which is unaffordable.

When the main sources of News are the BBC, The Sun, The Daily Record, the Scotsman and The (Glasgow) Herald, is it any wonder most Scots don't have a clue what the ACTUAL truth is.

Lots of women on Palestine Edinburgh march. It’s the Gaza children being killed looking for food that’s breaking hearts and prompting so many mothers to turn up. No arrests despite thousands repeating same lines that prompted police action y’day. ⁦β€ͺ

🧡 REVEALED: Community energy projects in Scotland are generating 100x more local wealth than privately-owned wind farms.

But just 0.5% of the renewable power is community-owned. Why this staggering imbalance?
