Drax, the UK’s largest carbon emitter, is planning to bypass UK Government climate regulations to power a hyperscale AI data centre – facing opposition from MPs across all three major parties.

North Yorkshire power plant has been criticised for burning wood pellets sourced from US and Canadian forests.
