UK's last outstanding coal mine plan rejected
Reported byBBC Science & Environment ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
UK regulatory authority refused planning permission for a new coal extraction project (85,000 tonnes at Glan Lash mine), preventing expansion of coal mining operations in the country.
This does not prove the UK will not mine coal elsewhere, nor that existing coal operations will close. It reflects one planning decision, not comprehensive climate policy or energy transition completion.
