The recently inaugurated LNG North Mole Power Station is already making economic as well as environmental sense.
The Man engines, fitted as they are with filtration mechanisms, and burning natural gas, are already benefitting the environment and reducing Gibraltar’s Carbon footprint. When the power station runs on gas, as compared to diesel, these engines are resulting in an almost total absence of particulates, a 99% reduction in sulphur dioxide emissions, 90% reduction in emissions of Nitrogen oxides and 44% reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. This will be equivalent of a reduction of over 65,000 tonnes of CO2 in a year to Gibraltar’s carbon footprint. Read more

Robert Vasquez has been a lawyer for 43 years and will be running as an Independent Candidate. He recently resigned as an executive member of the GSD, and had contributed towards their manifesto.
PANORAMA asked how Robert felt, to which he responded by saying, “I’m feeling happy that I am progressing my desire to add to the democratic credentials that Gibraltar has by standing as an Independent. I fully appreciate and understand the difficulties that has because of the habit of block voting, but look, I think it’s time that people were given another chance to vote for somebody else. I know the mountain I have to climb over the next 3 weeks to convince people, but I am giving them an opportunity to choose an independent social democrat by reason of what they have read over the years and what has been published in the chronicle and other newspapers and generally from my experience.
