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?

    I was accused of being  in denial of climate change a few weeks ago.


    The was a news report about Fairbourne In Wales being at increased risk of flooding due to climate change.


    I said the government and council just don’t want to maintain the flood defences around land reclaimed from the sea, but the sea is rising due to climate change I was told, at which point I said there is a 5000 year old Submerged forest  just down the coast at Borth and that the sea has been rising or the land has been dropping for at least those 5000 years, indeed the are tales of there being a Welsh Alantis  more reclaimed land that was lost when the sea gates were left open.


    There is a natural rhythm to things that are beyond the influence of mankind and not every change in climate and sea level can be attributed pollution and the like, but generally mankind’s activities are creating huge environmental issues so things staying as they are is not an option.
