No Oil Palm Energy (NOPE)

Campaigning to stop a biofuel power station being built in Portland, Dorset.

In January 2010 Weymouth and Portland Council passed plans for a power station at Portland Port which will generate electricity by burning palm oil from Indonesia.
# The plans are to burn 30,000 tonnes of palm oil in diesel engines to produce electricity.
# The palm oil they aim to use will be shipped from Indonesia, where forests are being chopped down to make way for palm plantations. The people who live in the forests are being forced from their land and animals like Orangutans, who live in the forest, are being displaced or killed.
# There are currently problems with all biofuel schemes, with fuel sources competing with food and land used by some of the world’s poorest people, so we are asking that only truly green, clean and sustainable energy projects, like wind farms and tidal, are given government green energy subsidies.
