Church of Scotland objects to building of Hunterston power station

The Church of Scotland has written to the Scottish Government objecting to the latest attempt to build a coal fired power station at Hunterston.

Ian Galloway, convenor of the Church and Society council said:
As the impact of climate change continues to bear down on the poorest communities around the world we become ever more convinced of the need for climate justice.  We must reduce our greenhouse emissions in Scotland.  This application does nothing to help us do this and we continue to oppose it strongly.

The proposal is also being opposed by Christian Aid and local communities.
