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?

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





    I can't speak for Extinction Rebellion but there certainly are proposals out here of what could be done - e.g. Zero Carbon Britain Report. There seems to be a common theme though that gradual small comfortable changes made by individuals won't deliver the required change - either large enough or quickly enough - e.g.  BBC Report: Climate change: Big lifestyle changes are the only answer  Individual improvements certainly help - if nothing else in demonstrating what's possible - but perhaps we should be considering the possibility of much more radical and widespread changes.
