I struggle to think of an expletive that works here. The people of the UK are providing welfare to companies for what? Not cutting down trees that don’t exist?

The article later goes in to say researchers found evidence that 6% of the credits are having the intended effects.

The malignancy of the authors of this program is astonishing.
