Britain's last coal power plants to close by 2025 (The Guardian)

EmmaP's picture

This article discusses Britain's plan to close all of its power plants by 2025, as part of the government's mission to phase out fossil fuels. Their parliment will also be given monetary incentives for renewable energy intiatives, such as offshore windfarms. These moves have been widely praised by environmental groups, although some feel the government should be taking bolder actions and closing the plants more quickly.
