The old ways
Are not always the best. In spite of how the saying goes. This is an old pic of early morning sunshine on the giant cooling towers of the UK's last coal-fired power station at Ratcliffe-on-Soar. A major landmark for miles around and standing here in what looks like fields of gold. The power station finishes producing electricity by burning coal today (01/10/24) after running since 1967. It'll be a significant milestone and could mark the end of our long love affair with fossil fuels.
