WAY TO GO BRITS

It’s leaving home: The only remaining coal plant in the UK shut down yesterday, marking the first time a G7 member has completely ended its reliance on the original fossil fuel.

After 142 years of burning bricks, the Brits have made good on a deadline set in 2015 to phase out coal by 2025. The move is expected to help lower UK demand for the resource to preindustrial levels, according to the climate publication Carbon Brief.
