Its hard to find things to be optimistic about in the UK. But this is a very welcome win, over those 10 years the capacity provided by coal has genuinely been replaced with renewables and not some other nonsence like LNG or nuclear. Suppose all it takes are the highest electricity costs in the world.
Good
Does this get us back in the EU? Hello, hello, yes I’m living in the past
Nice… But that’s steam coming from the is towers.. Not fumes..
Are electricity costs going to go up in the UK now? What are they replacing coal with?
But at what cost
The end of an era OP industrial zones
One of the few times I feel proud to be British.
aint that the bloke that plays for chelsea?
Until we import goods from China, India, countries where energy is 80% from coal its no matter. Only local polution air is smaller.
UK also pays the highest cost for energy…
What the headline should be: UK more dependent on FR nuclear than ever.
Good! And since it is not needed anymore, nobody can complain about it shutting down.
