Campaigners have handed in a petition to the Scottish Government urging them to reject the plans for a new gas burning power station in Peterhead.

Climate campaigners warn that a new gas power station at Peterhead would lock people in Scotland into higher energy bills for decades to come.

The UK committed or already spent nearly £500 million on carbon capture projects since 2010, and yet there are no commercial-scale carbon capture projects.

Campaigners argue his role at the oil conference is incompatible with a commitment to tackle the worsening climate emergency.

Campaigners are calling on local councillors and politicians to end fossil fuels in a way that is ‘Fast, Fair & Forever’.

The inevitable Grangemouth closure showed both Governments have no credible just transition plans

Campaigners also concerned at plans to turn the seas of Scotland into Europe’s carbon dumping ground.

This defensive response is full of inconsistencies, weak excuses and provides no new evidence to support its claims.

New targets are meaningless without new action to deliver on them.
