Coal phaseout is a moral and environmental necessity

You can burn coal the clean way too.
The times of sooty coal plants are over in Europe.
This is just environment fear inappropriate content hype i.m.o.
I'm much more worried about the oceans turning into plastic soup.
This was already alarming 7 years ago.

Colin, can I just say "Agree" to all of the environmental posts you've made in this forum lately? I have to get back to work

Electric powered cars are immoral as they run on coal powered electricity. Drive internal combustion cars and save the planet.

Colin's turning me into an anglophile.

Sadly only 8.2% of our energy is generated via renewables, and that was the 2015 figure. The Conservative government has since ended all support for green technologies and banned the construction of new onshore wind farms, while pushing for fracking , even overruling local council fracking bans.

So it seems we're heading backwards on this.

Sorry, I saw your silver-lining, and had to point out the cloud.
