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

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?

  • Extinction Rebellion annoy me for several reasons.


    They do not seem to have any proposals as to how things should actually move forward to achieve a desirable outcome.


    They seem to think they have a monopoly on caring and nobody else does.


    Some of their activities consist of bullying people who may well share the same overall objectives, but actually need to get on and live their lives without being harassed on the streets as they do do.

    The Extinction Rebellion website  does not appear to have any aims or objectives on it, merely proposing disturbances around the world to make changes.


    As an electrician every day I endeavour to reduce the carbon footprint of all of my customers and would like to think that every electrical installation uses consumes less electricity after I worked on it than before, by installing new lighting and appliances that use less electricity also have better controls to reduce the customers bills and reduce their carbon footprint.


    I also try to fo my best to reuse and recycle and so on and so forth.


    In fact I would like to think I have more of a positive impact on reducing global warming, as best I can, than the majority of those involved in the Extinction Rebellion. Their standing in roads and the like will not have the actual benefits to the environment  that my getting to work will.
