I'm just glad the likes of India, China, Russia, and the USA have joined us in banning coal power stations. Haven't they?

The government forced them to close the coke ovens at scunthorpe 2 years ago so they have to import chinese coke and this is problematic so they are desperately trying to get the government to give them a grant to convert either to DRI or electric arc but most likely steel making will cease and we will start importing semi finished steel from China for use in the rolling mills which is also a problem because Scunthorpe produces the best rail steel in the world which the french, germans,Italians etc rely on |

Saw a comment recently somewhere that said in 2024 more coal will be burnt than any previous year. But of course, those fumes will never reach the UK.
