The UK's last coal power station, Ratcliffe-on-Soar, is due to end operations on Monday.

The UK is about to stop producing any electricity from burning coal - ending its 142-year reliance on the fossil fuel.

The country’s last coal power station, at Ratcliffe-on-Soar, finishes operations on Monday after running since 1967.

This marks a major milestone in the country’s ambitions to reduce its contribution to climate change. Coal is the dirtiest fossil fuel producing the most greenhouse gases when burnt.

    I wonder what’s going to happen to those moths that evolved to be black when England was nothing but smog and misery. Will they evolve to look like Brexit supporters surprised by what everyone told them would happen?
