Breaking a 300 year old record!

Simon Clarke - coal power quote

? The U.K. energy grid has just gone a whole week without burning any coal, a historic achievement.

Last week, the Committee on Climate Change formally endorsed the campaign I have been leading for us to become carbon neutral (“net zero”) by 2050.

Today’s amazing news shows the progress we are making towards that goal, and helping to shape a better world for our children and grandchildren. And all this bang on time to mark David Attenborough’s 93rd birthday!
