Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 03/02/2007 - 17:43

National Grid are building a huge new gas pipeline across South Wales. The project is dangerous and undemocratic. Come and join the growing wave of protests against it.

Pipeline

The gas won’t be coming from the North Sea fields. It is coming all the way from Qatar in massive supertankers to Milford Haven Harbour. Then it will be pumped through the 120-mile long pipeline to Gloucestershire.
National Grid are building it. They used to be a public utility, but have become a private company. This £6 billion project is the single largest energy-project financing ever(1) and the terminal at Milford Haven will be the biggest LNG receiving terminal in the world (2).

Traffic Backed UpProtesters against the continued and unrestrained promotion of fossil fuel projects by the UK government have blockaded the main vehicle access route into the new LNG pipeline terminal near Milford Haven, South Wales. Their aim is to highlight the serious environmental and safety issues surrounding this project, and to call for a more sober approach to the impending energy crisis.

'The 2006 G20 meeting of finance ministers, reserve bank governors and heads of the World Bank took place at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne, Australia, from November 17-19 2006.' (http://www.stopg20.org/)

This is what a Rising Tider said to a big rally on the day:

It's time to say we have had enough of being told that 'the end could be
nigh' by scientists, only to see our leaders jamming their foot on the
accelerator of a car that is already hurtling towards the cliff edge -
whilst they shout 'Trust me – I have your best interests at heart!'
