NICOLA STURGEON is letting “big corporations profit from dirty energy,” young campaigners said at the weekend as they confronted the First Minister in her Glasgow Southside constituency.
Scotland’s First Minister was cornered in Queen’s Park by young protesters from the Green New Deal Rising and the Stop Cambo campaign, who were protesting against new exploitation of the Cambo North Sea oilfield.
If given the go-ahead, the Cambo site could yield as many as 255 million barrels of oil over its lifetime, according to environmental campaigners.
