Fighting to protect the Rural coast of Lincolnshire
The Lincolnshire Coast is Under Attack
Nuclear waste
Lincolnshire County Council and East Lindsey District Council have invited Nuclear Waste Services to locate an underground dump for High Level Nuclear Waste just half a mile from one of the county's most popular beaches. The surface site for this facility is nowgoing to take up 940 acres of productive farmland five miles inshore at Gayton le Marsh and Great Carlton.
Carbon Capture and Storage
Harbour Energy and BP plan to build a Carbon Capture facility at its Immingham refinery. The captured Carbon Dioxide will then be transported, under enormous pressure, through a pipeline to Theddlethorpe It will then be taken via the LOGGS pipeline to an injection platform in The North Sea. CCS has proved to be controversial and dangerous. It requires so much energy the it releases as much greenhouse gas as it captures and where it is used in the US has a a poor safety record.
Gas Fired Power Station
Theddlethorpe Flexible Generation want to build a small gas fired powerstation on farmland at Theddlethorpe. This is not really a big threat, but why take up agricultural land when by moving it back 100 metres it woul be on a prieviously industrial site?
