London is where the world's first coal-fired power station was built in the 1880s. In the last 30 years, the UK's share of coal in the national energy mix has fallen from 80% to 1%. And in less than a month, the last bastion, the Ratcliffe coal plant, will fall. The next step towards the UK's goal of net-zero power by 2030 will require a larger role for renewables and a much smaller role for gas. The direction of travel is clear. A fossil fuel free future is in sight. The UK is leading the way and other countries should follow. https://lnkd.in/ddspHakJ
