Chris x.Turkeys voting for Christmas. Reliable grid power comes from fossil fuels and not unreliable wind farms. The UK grid should be relying on nuclear, coal and gas for its generating capacity which is why China is building 2 every week. Unfortunately it is going to take a situation which happens in winter when there is no wind and it is cold, with high demand and not enough capacity for people to realise the nonsense of green energy.
UK High Court Revokes Permit for First Coal Mine in 30 Years
By Tsvetana Paraskova – Sep 13, 2024, 9:30 AM CDT
London’s High Court on Friday quashed a planning permission for the UK’s first new coal mine in three decades, ruling that the permit was unlawful as it hadn’t considered the emissions from burning the fuel.
Earlier this year, climate campaigners, including Friends of the Earth, challenged the approval of the coal mining project.

The UK’s previous Conservative government approved in December 2022 the Woodhouse Colliery project in Whitehaven, northwest England, developed by West Cumbria Mining.
The project to mine metallurgical coal, the one used for steelmaking, will be required to support steelmaking throughout the transition to Net Zero over the next few decades, WCM said at the end of 2023.
However, the new Labour government in the UK pulled in July its support for the project and said that it would no longer defend the case at High Court. The UK’s new Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Angela Rayner, has accepted there was an “error of law” in the approval from December 2022.
The government’s move to drop its defense of the project follows a landmark Supreme Court judgment from June 2024, which ruled that a local council unlawfully granted approval to an onshore oil drilling project as planners must have considered the emissions from the oil’s future use as fuels, in a landmark case that could upset new UK fossil fuel projects.
Add to this insanity the refinery in Grangemouth closing down and Port Talbot doing the same with the blast furnaces. Thousands of jobs to go for the fake man made global warming.
