An article comes out every goddamn day proving that the U.S. should be investing in renewable energies. But Trump needs them votes from coal country, so we're going to be years behind economically.

The only problem with the UK's energy problem is that they are shifting to natural gas and wood (which is much more ecologically damaging than coal), and even worse when their electricity security gets worst, really dirty diesel generators.

Could you provide me with some readings on that? I'm searching things like "united kingdom natural gas" but am unable to find any articles discussing this rise in natural gas and wood. (Not saying I don't believe you! I'm just curious.)

I see that in September, The Independent reported that almost a third of the UK's electricity came from renewable energy (with wind power being the most prominent): http://www.independent.co.uk/news/busine...72266.html
