Listen "Acorn: a ‘greenwashing scam’?"
Episode Synopsis
Chancellor Rachel Reeves has promised public money for the Acorn carbon capture project in Aberdeenshire in the UK Government's spending review. The funding has been broadly welcomed by politicians and the energy industry, so why do Friends of the Earth call Acorn a 'greenwashing scam'? We ask their climate campaigner Alex Lee (pictured) and the BBC’s Kevin Keane. And after the Flamingo Land Loch Lomond U-turn, Laura reveals what it’s like to read the news when a story breaks.
