PoliticsCampaigners urge chancellor to scrap spending on ‘fairytale’ carbon capture

Environmental campaigners, led by Chris Packham, are urging the Treasury to reduce the government’s planned £24bn support for carbon capture in this week’s budget and redirect funds to green measures that can reliably cut emissions and bills. Packham called the projects’ results “ludicrously uncertain” and described the spending as a national embarrassment.
