Yeah, last time I did the numbers it would consume every tree in the UK in six months. It's both greenwashing and better than burning coal.

My major issue against it is that these businesses are getting massive amounts of government funding and tax incentives due to the "green" spin.

Effectively none of these business are actually profitable and would be insolvent without government help/cronyism. This money is pretty much wasted on these polluting businesses and is money that could be applied elsewhere towards the environment.
