It’s extraordinary. The UK government handed energy giants including Shell and BP free pollution permits worth £1bn last year and plans to give them billions more!The climate crisis is biting hard. Millions of us are struggling with soaring energy bills. Polluting energy giants are posting record profits and the UK government is giving them help worth billions.Under the Emissions Trading Scheme these companies should have to buy a government permit for every tonne of carbon dioxide they emit.Instead, the government is handing out free permits worth billions.
