An application to build a biofuel power station at Avonmouth, capable of powering 25,000 homes, has been refused by city councilors.

The plant, which would had been fueled initially by palm oil, was attacked by critics who blamed the demand for palm oil for rainforest destruction.

The meeting was told the decision had to be made according to material planning considerations, not emotions.
