The Big Leith Biomass Meeting - The Tweets

Only a few minutes ago, a 'packed' public meeting on the Forth Energy proposals for the Leith Biomass plant came to an end. Not everyone who wanted to attend could go, but luckily there were lot's of people sharing information about the meeting on Twitter, including two local councillors, an MSP, the Guardian Edinburgh beat blogger and our own Chairperson.

In fact, the meeting garnered so much attention on Twitter that the tag #leithbiomass started trending locally. Using the magic of the internet, we've selected the best of these tweets, and spliced them together with a few extra links and put it all together in one place, so that if you weren't at the meeting you can get a feel for how it went. 

Lest you think we selectively chose the tweets to show only negative tweets, the reality is, that no-one was tweeting anything positive about the proposals. 

You should be able to see the result below (if not click here).

If you want to send an objection to the plant go to http://www.noleithbiomass.org.uk/

If you're looking for resources to help you write your own objection letter to the plant, you can find our detailed assesment of the plant here.
