2017 was UK's greenest energy year ever
The UK is using more green energy and fewer fossil fuels. It had its greenest year ever for electricity in 2017. It also broke 13 clean energy records. In June, wind, nuclear and solar power produced more electricity than gas and coal. The UK now has the seventh cleanest energy system in the world. The UK wants to use less coal and gas to meet greenhouse gas targets. The UK uses too much gas. A charity said: "We have never been cleaner or greener, and we are on [target] for an even better year in 2018." It said climate change is damaging nature and wildlife. Clean energy is the best way to a clean future. |
