Thoughts on Coal

The BBC is running various programmes about the fight between Arthur Scargill and Margaret Thatcher.

Everybody is missing the point!

Coal is a filthy fuel that generates lots of global warming CO2. It generates twice as much CO2 as natural gas for the same amount of energy, as the latter has lots of hydrogen atoms, which only create water!

The real tragedy of the coal industry is that it wasn’t shut down in an orderly and agreed way much earlier and at a rate that could have been sustained without the confrontation, heartache and trouble.
