@Leesadee_Imagee Plenty of twists and turns which were navigated with great skill 🧭 👏 Well done all!

Ahoy me hearties!
Thanks to all who parlayed on our behalf and scuppered the attempt to overturn the Court of Appeal judgement against the decision to approve the construction of 7 massive gas caverns under Larne Lough in Islandmagee.
May yer anchor ever be tight ⚓

@SIslandmageenrg @foe_ni @EnvironmentNI @UlsterWildlife @NIMTF @nifpo @NationalTrustNI @Ecojustice_Ire @BelfastClimate @BBCNewsNI @BelfastLive Bit of a one sided view from these two eh? Maybe biased too... Calling people irresponsible for trying to protect the area where they live is rather insulting 👎

🧵 1. Comment from CEO of Harland & Wolff (formerly Infrastrata PLC) in recent interview downplaying one of the impacts of their Islandmagee Gas Storage Project "The protesters complained that you can't put salt in sea water. Get that logic if you can" https://t.co/EvipIZnmuQ

2.Independent scientists employed by Islandmagee Energy (subsidiary of H&W) have confirmed a dead zone will be created in the coastal waters 450m off Islandmagee due to the continuous discharge of poisonous supersaturated brine from the creation of salt caverns over many years ⬇️

[Paid to Pollute @PaidToPollute]

When will the govt finally accept that more gas won't bring down #energybills in the UK? 😱

Even the Chancellor AND the founder of the UK's biggest #fracking company admitted it won't. 🧐

We need a rapid investment in renewables which are 9X cheaper than gas ‼️

#EnergyCrisis

[Doug Parr @doug_parr]

Geologist who founded Cuadrilla says

* it had discovered that the geology of the UK was unsuited to widespread #Fracking operations
* will be impossible at any meaningful scale
* will not help with the energy price crisis
