We've now gone a week without using coal for power generation in GB - the longest period sine coal-fired electricity generation started in 1882https://t.co/GN32Jc8d5x

All the more reason to say no to new opencast coal mines #SaveDruridgehttps://t.co/Ugf7FcWWD9

?? has gone a week without using coal generated electricity for the first time since the industrial revolution!

Britain passes 1 week without coal power for first time since 1882.

The government has pledged to phase out electricity from coal *totally* by 2025. This is possible. In fact, a fully zero-carbon electricity grid is possible by 2025. Let's push for it.https://t.co/LBQWgACydU

英国、１週間以上に亘って石炭火力を使わず。1882年に稼働開始以来初めて。https://t.co/U5ReKBd7Z6 2025年には全廃予定。

Converting redundant coal fired power stations to use a waste derived fuel like at #Uskmouth will reduce landfill and maintain baseload to bring more renewables onto the grid in the UK #simecatlantis https://t.co/byijDxQFMx

영국, 137년만에 처음으로 석탄없이 일주일간 전력을 공급한 획기적인 기록 세워. 석탄, 1882년 영국 산업혁명 탄생에 일조. 영국에 전력을 공급하는 내셔널 그리드, 5월 1일부터 7일까지 가장 오염물이 많은 화석연료인 석탄 대신 솔라, 풍력, 천연가스로만 발전했다고 발표. https://t.co/FTd2O7XNmU

In a big #energy milestone, Britain has gone a week without burning any coal to generate electricity - the first coal-free week since 1882 (when Queen Victoria ?reigned!). ??has already gone for more than 1000 hours in total without needing coal in 2019 ?https://t.co/nI261NNpzy
