The British government announced that it will pass legislation to ban new coal mining

On November 14, local time, the British Prime Minister’s Office said that the UK will pass legislation as soon as possible to restrict the issuance of new coal mining licenses and ban new coal mining projects.

This move is part of the UK’s efforts to promote energy transformation and reduce carbon emissions, aiming to address climate change and help control global temperature rise to within 1.5°C.

This year, the UK closed its last coal-fired power station. The British Energy Minister said that coal mining has provided energy for the UK for more than 140 years, but now it is time to welcome the arrival of the clean energy era.
