    At #leithbiomass public meeting. Apparently is someone here who supports proposal and not from forth ports!

    No timescale for Scottish Gov decision. Their target for wind farms is 9mts but nothing stated for #LeithBiomass

    Consultation period for #LeithBiomass lasts until March 11 so even if you can't make tonight's meeting there's plenty of time to participate

    Apparently there are 'benefits' & 'impacts' of the #leithbiomass plant. Wonderful euphemism for pollution, increased traffic, & incineration

    Don't get me wrong-I like biomass-generated electricity, but scale/size, transport & source of fuel must be appropriate! #leithbiomass

    For people concerned about #LeithBiomass check out Ingelsta, Helsingborg & Hammarby in Sweden. How did communities there react?

    Indeed, @GdnEdinburgh, because of course the building won't be a big white box! #leithbiomass

    Wow. Even with "softening" the #LeithBiomass plant would be very visible from Constitution St. VERY.
