Misleading Claims from Scottish Power Scottish
Power is misleading and premature in claiming a boost for their Gas Plant plans from the Health and Safety Executive and the Environment Agency. Both bodies have given only an "in principle" nod and now demand formal applications for rigorous examination in a process lasting months and including full opportunity for the public to make objections.
Meanwhile Scottish Power grows daily more pessimistic of getting approval at Borough or County level, noting the opposition of Congleton Borough Council's Planning Committee who are recommending the County Council to reject the Gas Plant, reflecting the united opposition of a local community seriously worried about the risks of pollution and major accidents. Even Fred Attwater, Scottish Power's Project Manager, has admitted that the Gas Plant is too dangerous to be sited "near people in towns" and at Hutchinson in Kansas, gas escaping from and underground salt cavern - exactly similar to those proposed by Scottish Power - has caused a serious explosion.
As Mr Attwater has confirmed that gas could be sold overseas, the deal sounds like this: Scottish Power gets the profit, some other country gets the gas, and Cheshire gets the risk.
