UK will close polluting coal power plants
The British government intends to shut down all coal power plants that do not have the necessary technology to limit carbon emissions. This announcement comes a week before the climate summit in Paris, in which the participating countries aim to reach an international agreement to reduce carbon emissions and avoid the devastating effects of global warming. UK announced that in December it will close down the last deep coal mine, marking the end of an industry that kept a nation running since the Industrial Revolution.
