UK DECIDES TO KEEP COAL-FIRED POWER STATIONS OPEN (JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER)

What is Greta going to say about all this?

With the UK set to be engulfed by chaos and blackouts due to driving the green agenda too hard, the British government has decided to relent on its "Zero-Carbon Fascism" and keep some coal-fired power stations open just a little bit longer. 

As reported by the Guardian:

The effort to prevent electricity blackouts this winter is expected to delay the closure of part of a coal-fired power station in Nottinghamshire, with the plant’s German owner nearing agreement with the UK authorities.

In the third in a series of deals to have more coal power on standby if needed, National Grid’s electricity system operator (NGESO) is working towards finalising an agreement with Uniper to keep all of the operations at the Ratcliffe-on-Soar site open through the winter.

In May, the business secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng, wrote to NGESO asking executives to work with Uniper and fellow owners of coal-power stations Drax and EDF to slow their closure plans after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine shook the energy markets.

Uniper had been due to decommission one of its 500-megawatt units at the Nottinghamshire plant at the end of September, two years before closing the remaining three units at the site.

Under the deal, NGESO is expected to pay the company a fee to delay the decommissioning so all three units can be called on if needed.

With one third of Pakistan reportedly under water supposedly due to "climate change" weather, will this decision by the British government put the remaining two thirds under water? I think we should be told.
