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 not trying to say there has been a gentle movement, just that there is a natural rhythm which is beyond the influence of mankind.

    Locally the highest recorded flood level on the River Severn was in 1795 so again before the industrial revolution got into full gear, however since then two areas of flood plain have been used a rubbish dumps raising them far above their original level and the run off from the West Midlands conurbation has increased significantly.


    However any present day flood reaching anything like that level will almost certainly be blamed on global warming.


    I am all for reducing emissions and so on, but not every environmental blip is due to the way we live.
