The UK has closed its last coal-fired power station, marking the end of over 140 years of coal-generated electricity. A historic milestone in the shift to cleaner energy, paving the way for a low-carbon, sustainable future. The transition is happening—let’s keep it going!
November 28, 2024 at 12:02 PM
Germany is leading the charge in renewable energy! They closed their last coal-fired power station in 2023 and aim for 80% renewable electricity by 2030, targeting full greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. A bold path toward a sustainable future!
November 28, 2024 at 12:00 PM
Focusing solely on the costs of renewable energy is a distraction. The real conversation is about the urgent need to protect our planet. Clean energy isn’t just an expense—it’s a solution to climate change, a safeguard for future generations, and a chance to build a better world. Let’s stay focused.
