Phasing out of coal

The government is to be congratulated for phasing out coal-fired power stations. Eventually most fossil fuels will need to phased out and we will have to rely upon wind, solar and hydrothermal energy.  We will also have to rely upon energy saving domestic and industrial appliances and thermal insulation. We need to make buildings warm in the winter and cool in the the summer without air conditioning, if this is possible.

All this should have been done yesterday, but it is a start on the long road to controlling man-made climate change and mitigating the effects of greenhouse over production.

We owe it to our young people to assure them a better future.
