It also ignores that we are slowly, but surely, moving towards more renewables for electricity generation. The UK hardly burns any coal these days, I believe we have 2 coal fired plants that are there mostly for emergencies. Yes, we still produce quite a lot from gas fired plants as they are easy to turn up and down to match demand, but the the direction is set, electricity generation will get greener.

This just feels like a super defeatest post.
