I also read the other day, quote me as I cannot remember stats, but we less coal fired fuel in power stations this year.

"So far in 2018, 1,600 hours of Britain’s electricity needs have been met without coal being burned, more than double the number of coal-free hours in 2016 and 2017 combined.

Britain is on track to get less than 5% of its electricity from coal for the first time since the Industrial Revolution, the Department for Business and Energy (BEIS) said.

The country is also on track to take polluting coal power off the electricity grid ahead of the 2025 deadline set by ministers, the department said."
