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?

    That depends on your "present narrative".  The problems of surface run-off from hard paving are becoming increasingly clear.  That's why new driveways should not simply dump run-off into the road.  they should be porous or have a soakaway (and not go into the public drains, either).


    But there is so much pressure to build houses, that they still get built on floodplains, however many times those in charge say they shouldn't be.
