The British government wants to ban new coal mines in the United Kingdom, she confirmed on Thursday. Just two months ago, the British court halted another project by the previous Conservative government. This was the first new coal mine in the UK in thirty years, in Whitehaven.

De Britse regering wil nieuwe steenkoolmijnen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk verbieden, zo bevestigt ze donderdag. Slechts twee maanden geleden liet het Britse gerecht nog een project stilleggen van de vorige Conservatieve regering.

UK becomes one of the first countries in the world to ban new coal mines

British authorities are banning all new coal mines, the AFP news agency reported. It is the first time that any G7 country has completely freed itself from polluting coal, writes NTB.
Earlier this autumn, Britain's last coal-powered power station shut down. It marked the end of coal-based electricity generation in the UK.

Britiske myndigheter forbyr alle nye kullgruver, melder nyhetsbyrået AFP. Det er første gang noe G7-land helt frigjør seg fra forurensende kull, skriver NTB.
Tidligere i høst stengte Storbritannias siste kulldrevne kraftverk. Det markerte slutten på strømproduksjonen på basis av kull i Storbritannia.
