The British Isles are coal rich. Common sense would say that is where their energy should come from. Of course common sense would say that they should expel the filthy mudslum invaders too.
Europe has been trying to figure out where radioactive iodine is coming from. They are triangulating to figure out which country and nuclear power plant is furtively releasing it and none will admit to it. With Fukushima still “happily” dumping three nuclear power plant cores into the ocean, air and land...I just can’t be chipper about Britain’s “news”.
Why don’t they just burn money instead of coal?
I am getting tired of this effin s***
sorta like people in Vermont saying that
air conditioning in Texas needs a special tax.
or that people in Hawaii think that
natural gas heat in Texas needs a special tax
or that people in Sweden
think that others should not use cash
f.u.
Next step, the dark ages. Progress demands it.
The emissions from natural gas are not much lower than coal. If they really care about global warming they should stop using electricity altogether.
They are using gas fired furnaces to burn their trash (biomass). The trash burning pollution is far worse than coal. But anything for the war on coal efforts.
IIRC, fuel costs in Britain have been insane for a very long time. Wonder why.
testing out the gallows, first with the savage invasion and now with coal, shear lunacy!
Do Brits pay an electric bill? You never hear about it. Do the refugees have to pay it?
How I remember Neil Kinnock, the miners, etc. in the 1980s. I suspect Billy Elliot is now a nostalgia play.
Finally!
Recall just recently when coal ran over those people on Westminster Bridge and attacked the constable! England really did need to take action on eliminating coal.
...oh....what?....not coal?
Never mind....not a problem.
Sad.
Coal made England’s wealth & power possible.
James Watt & others shed a tear.
(now let’s see the Greenies do this for a week or a month... in August or February.)

“Lots of caol makin’ lots of heat...”
Britain has probably used coal since neolithic times, and the Industrial Revolution had nothing to do with generating electricity. Any transmission of power in those days was done by mechanical means (driveshafts and belts).
Electricity use on an industrial scale didn't happen until Tesla perfected the use of alternating current.
Instead they burn wood pellets imported from the US. “Biomass” they call it.
Interesting that they don’t mention the numerous very-high polluting mini-diesel generators that now exist to back up every ‘renewable’ power source in Europe.
