Britain went a full day without using coal to generate electricity for the first time since the Industrial Revolution, the National Grid says.

Now Britain is a bit of an exception because they have access to natural gas from the North Sea, but it also shows that they realize it is time to abandon an outdated source of energy.

Meanwhile our EPA director goes on a tour of the most-polluting coal-fired power plants in the USA, touting the non-existent conservative “War on Coal” talking point (when it is really technology that is driving coal to extinction, not “liberals”).
