AN announcement that Ambre Energy has offered scholarships to school children has been branded an insult to the agricultural industry.
Two scholarships worth $1000 have been offered to Year 10 students at Pittsworth and Clifton State High Schools undertaking agricultural studies in 2012.
Friends of Felton spokesman Rob McCreath said Ambre Energy's plans to industrialise the inner Darling Downs threaten to pollute and destroy a priceless food-producing region.
"Open-cut mines and petrochemical plants would shower the surrounding area in dust and fumes, while draining and polluting water supplies," he said.
