npower announce plans for 1650MW Gas power station in Notts

Powerless | 30.05.2007 16:13 | Climate Chaos

A journalist forwarded the details of this to me asking for a response from any climate activists I might know.

One of my first thoughts was that presumably the plant is going to be built using a lot of cement...

Anyway, this was the first I've heard of it. The full press release is below. Note that apparently they already have planning permission dating back to 1993. Also note that in 2000 it was decided that the power station wasn't needed, so someone has started boiling their kettle a lot more recently.

if anyone wants to put together an Eastside Climate Action response then email me on pete(at)theforest.org.uk and I'll pass it on.
