If you're going to burn coal (and we are, or the lights go off) Drax is about the best place, it gets more energy out of the CO2 released than any other plant. The coal, of course, comes by ship and train from Russia or South America these days, rather than the Yorkshire pits Drax was built for...
I'm sure most of us wouldn't lose any sleep if these folk decided to take their protests to Russia and/or S.America. Somehow I don't think the authorities there would be quite as accommodating....
