Today is the day the UK becomes the first G7 country to completely phase out coal power
Since opening "Jumbo", the world's first coal power plant in 1882, the UK's coal plants have burned through a whopping 4.6bn tonnes of coal, emitting 10.4GtCO2 – which is more than most countries have ever released
Here's the story of how that all came to an end:

Embarking on the next adventure
After almost 16 years at Reuters, a third of a working lifetime, it’s time to set out on the next stage of my journey.
Entering the building for the first time in 2008, with the financial crisis raging, I planned to stay no more than 2-3 years before moving on.
Since then, however, I’ve reinvented the role several times, and been given a fantastic amount of freedom to experiment.
Like most people, I am a creature of habit and routine. But the most important lesson I’ve learned over my career is the need to innovateand evolve, because the opposite is stagnation and obsolescence.
So it’s time to move on to the next challenge; I want to look back and say I made the most of my brief time in this world. I first reached this decision a couple of years ago; now seems like a good time to put it into action.
I’d like to thank Michael Lawrence and Richard Mably for taking a chance hiring me all those years ago and giving me the freedom to experiment and do things very differently. I hope I have repaid your trust.
I’d also like to express my appreciation to all my editors, sub-editors and colleagues over the years for their help and friendship. You have saved me from countless errors and made me a better writer.
A special tribute must go to my amazing colleagues - Andy Home, Clyde Russell, Karen Braun and Gavin Maguire. No other small team has had such an enormous impact. I have been honoured to work with you and you have made me incredibly proud.
Finally, I want to thank you, my readers, for all the kind words and constructive feedback. When I launched my own newsletter ten years ago, I could not have imagined it would grow to be read by 12,000 people every week or that my columns would be some of the most-read articles on the newswire. I have learned an immense amount from you - and that’s what has made the job worthwhile.
Before I retire in 10-15 years time, I hope to have one or two more roles, so I plan to take a few months to decide what I’d like to do next.
I’ll be working a few more weeks at Reuters; even after that I’ll still be around. I look forward to staying in touch as the next stage of the journey begins.
With very best wishes
John
As of today, after 14 years, I am no longer employed by @HoustonISD. This is bittersweet. I have loved teaching in this beautiful, diverse district. My own children attended excellent HISD schools from K-12. But @HISDSupe Mike Miles has
We’re at Texas State University where the Palestine Solidarity Committee is holding a sit-in until 7pm. About 100 students here now with a few observers from the administration, no law enforcement visible.
Here’s how I heard about this: A friend of a friend reached out to me this afternoon about one of these positions, asking whether they should apply and whether I recommended working for @statesman.
It’s sad that I had to say no when I otherwise would’ve said yes.
I’m on strike for the first time in my career as I join my co-workers to fight for fair, livable wages for my younger colleagues. We’ve seen our newsroom shrink by almost 79% since 2012, and that cannot continue.
LNG secured!
My colleagues and I won an LNG contract simulation exercise at our @PotenPartners London office last week. Glad I can provide gas for my fictional home country of Zedland!

In 2023 power emissions fell across the U.S. as they have for the last decade.
But they rose significantly in the Pacific Northwest, erasing some of the region's climate progress.
So what happened?
