Climate activists have urged councillors to reject plans for a new gas-fired power station in Aberdeenshire
.
However, Aberdeenshire Council's committee members will be able to have their say and scrutinise the proposals on Thursday. Friends of the Earth Scotland are calling on councillors to block the proposals - and they say the plans are built on the "rotten foundations of carbon capture". “Local councillors have an opportunity and a responsibility to interrogate the claims of the developers of this climate-wrecking project. The whole plan is to be built on the rotten foundations of carbon capture, which is a technology with a long, inglorious history of repeated failures.
"Local representatives have a chance to send a clear message that the future of the north-east of Scotland must be built on good green jobs, renewable energy and putting the needs of workers and communities at the very heart of transition planning.”
