Why was Didcot "A" Power Station Demolished a Columnist Asks?

Zoomup
The demolition of Didcot "A" power station removed about 1.44 GigaWatts of generation. So why was it demolished when China is building many new coal fired power stations? Couldn't it have been made to operate in a cleaner way by filtering emissions etc?

    Well no one has yet worked out a practical and economic way to filter out CO2 emissions. As for the Chinese, well if that family over there aren't putting their litter in the bin, does that mean I should just chuck my crisp packets on the floor too?


    And china generated 366 TWh of electricity from just wind power in 2018, more than the 304 GWh the UK generated from all sources in 2016. China currently gets about 25% of its electricity from renewable resources, and this is rapidly rising.
