What has Butterfiles got to do with Power Stations?

Does this image have anything to do with a power station?

The first time most people in the region found out about the proposed gas power station was when they recieved a pretty brouchure with a butterfly on the front.

The community information brochure seemed to hide more than it was telling us, arriving just days before a community information briefing was held.

Sorry WAMBO, but your images of a butterfly and a contented family do not fool us. Your power station adds to climate change problems threatens the existence of both butterflys and families alike.

Your brochure claims that your power station will have 60% lower emissions compared to a coal fired plant, but that is nothing to the 100% reductions that energy efficiency and renewable technologies can achieve.

Bega Valley deserves a better energy solution.
