Coal Generation G7.

Many old coal mines had their own electrical generators. They were self sufficient and had a good reliable supply for essential equipment like ventilation fans, water pumps, winder winch, lifting gear and coal cutters etc.  In the U.K. in about 1950 colliery generating plants were shut down and the supplies were obtained from the Electricity Boards. This was a bit of a shame really, as unmarketable grades of coal could be used at the colliery generating plants' boilers.


Now Old King Coal is an enemy it appears.

  • The most interesting graph you will ever see is the Muna Loa CO2 level. During the "Pandemic" where fossil fuel usage is down 20% at least, there is absolutely no variation in the increasing CO2 level. Even if the UK did what Boris wants we only produce about 1.5% of world CO2, our stopping would therefore make zero difference. Of course, more rational reading of the graph says that the CO2 level is not what does anything, and it does not come from fossil fuels. Looking back a few years, (well quite a lot) CO2 levels were much bigger sometimes, much smaller at others, but nothing bad happened! Proved, the Global Warming (oops should have said climate change as cooling is actually happening at the moment) is not manmade and we can do nothing about it. G7, useless talking shop, nothing will happen.
