       @primonatura Unfortunately, the UK built up a nuclear industry capable of challenging coal, which was at the time politically untouchable. Successive Governments actually forced the Generating Boards to build coal-fired power plants they did not want!The pause in domestic orders of nuclear plants would not have been disastrous if sales overseas could have been made, but ham-fisted attempts at currency manipulation, and US interference, scotched that.#AtomicPowerToThePeople

       @InfoMgmtExec @primonatura Already in 1958, a commentator in the British magazine NUCLEAR POWER suggested that the gradual replacement of coal by fission in electrical generation, and the gradual shift toward electricity from other forms of domestic and industrial energy, would avoid the danger of global climate change arising from CO₂ emissions.By 1970 the US electricity supply industry was talking about exiting coal by 1995. That would have bought a lot of ppm.#AtomicPowerToThePeople
