Interesting to note that on Gridwatch, Coal has started up again.

Cottham will come down soon, but still has a large coal stock. I believe burning it in the station is the most cost effective method of removal.

Yes, I guess that its coal stock will be used up during an organised run-up to its closure. National Grid has "enjoyed" some coal-free generation periods this summer, but as the weather becomes colder and demand increases, coal fired stations will be brought back on line to meet the demand. We are not quite finished with coal just yet.

Jeremy Corbyn gave a speech about re-establishing the coal empire as there was plenty still available ......Lol
