Britian - The Winds of Change - Abandoning coal

[packman]

Just six years ago, more than 40% of Britain’s electricity was generated by burning coal. Today, that figure is just 7%. Yet if the story of 2016 was the dramatic demise of coal and its replacement by natural gas, then 2017 was most definitely about the growth of wind power.

When you think about it, Britain and coal usage were at one time inseparable and seemingly intertwined forever. For that country to realize its future is clean energy and to have the will to wean itself off of coal, is - IMHO- remarkable. Kudos to the Brits.
