UK's last coal-fired power station set to close
 
Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottinghamshire has been producing energy since 1967
The closure of the UK's last coal-fired power station has been described by officials as a "tremendously important milestone" in energy production.

Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottinghamshire is due to shut early next week, with demolition of the site to follow after decommissioning, which is set to take two years.

The site - a landmark in the East Midlands - has been producing energy since 1967, enough to make more than one billion cups of tea per day.

Mike Lewis, CEO of the site's owner Uniper, told the BBC the closure was a key step in the "global route to decarbonisation".

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This is what happens when climate obsessed liberals run the show, they throw the baby out with the bathwater. ****sheep****

Electric bills will be going up (aka inflation).
