- grzm 9y agoYes, a global perspective is important. That said, I think it's appropriate to regard Britain's going without coal for a day as an accomplishment. It shows that a country with a history of using coal can go without. Given your comment, this is something you care about. Do you see nothing positive in this submission?
- pcjedi 9y agoNothing positive or negative about it. Call me a destructive pessimist but I've thought a lot about this topic and I'm pretty sure that mankind will burn up all Cole that it can get its hands on (same for oil, gas and uranium). The first figure in the Wikipedia article backs me up at this point. On the world map of Cole reserves, GB is a white spot now. Instead of celebrating such acomplishments that are neglectable in the Longview we should think about the implications of burning up all fossils.
