Elected British MPs are also unable to resign. To allow them to do so there is a "legal fiction" where they're appointed to an "office of profit". This disqualifies them from being an MP and triggers a by-election.

It’s live updating, so 0% of the electricity right now is being generated by coal (ie. The coal power plant is off). Note that Greece says “estimated” though so I presume they don’t have the actual live numbers. You can view averages from t
