There is a wave of proposed new agrofuel power stations sweeping the country. If we can stand up to them here, in Portland, we can stop this wave in its tracks..The headlong expansion of agrofuel (biofuels produced through intensive agriculture ) use threatens to destroy the world's remaining primary forsts, exacerbate the global food crisis and cause a massive increase in climate-destabilising emissions.

Help us support the local residents down in Portland and make the battle to stop this plant the battle that wins the war against the disastrous expansion of the agfrofuel industry.

Provisional Timetable: 9.00 am: Bus leaves London for Portland
1.00 pm: Assemble for march

Camping/crash space will be available overnight.

The application for an agrofuel power station in Portland was approved in January (after the initial rejection was overturned on appeal by the company making the proposal, W4B). The power station will burn palm oil and increase by one third the volume of palm oil currently being imported to this country for energy usage. See more here. W4B are planning an even bigger plant in Bristol, so stopping W4B in Portland will help to stop them in Bristol, too!

Agrofuel burning power stations like the one In Portland would not be going ahead were they not subsidised by the government. Insanely, agrofuels are classified as a renewable energy and as such receive subsidies - so that, in effect, the government is subsidising massive deforestation in South East Asia (and other places), thereby accelerating, rather than slowing down, the destabilisation of global climate.

Make a stand against the madness of agrofuel use, wholesale destruction of the rainforest, deepening food crisis and spiralling emissions!
