The UK says goodbye to coal production


The UK opened the world's first coal power plant nearly 150 years ago.

Ratcliffe was originally scheduled to shut down in 2022 but stayed open after Russia invaded Ukraine and Europe entered a gas crisis. The decrease in coal production was reportedly equal to double the amount of all greenhouse gases used in the UK in 2023. Britain still has a long way to go, but this step has made it the first G7 country to remove all coal power production.
