RSPB Scotland welcome the news that Danish Energy firm DONG energy have pulled out of plans to build a 1600MW coal station at Hunterston in North Ayrshire.
Aedán Smith, head of Planning with RSPB Scotland said:
"We're glad that DONG Energy have seen sense and dropped their plans to build a hugely polluting coal plant on the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) at Hunterston. The development would have built this dirty power plant on 95 hectares of the best remaining inter-tidal mudflats left on the Clyde, home to important populations of waders, geese and swans."
