Dutch judges say no to Schiermonnikoog offshore gas plan
DutchNews.nl -

A permit to build a gas drilling platform in the North Sea off the coast of the island of Schiermonnikoog has been torn up by judges in The Hague because of the potential damage to nature. The court ruled that it is not clear what the impact of nitrogen compound emissions associated with the rig and gas extraction will mean for vulnerable areas in the neighbourhood. In particular, measures to offset nitrogen emissions are not properly supported, the court said.
