UK closes last coal-fired power station but faces questions over Drax's wood-burning practices

The UK has closed its last coal-fired power station, marking a significant shift in its energy landscape. However, concerns remain about the Drax power station, which continues to burn wood pellets and receives government subsidies. Critics argue that burning trees contradicts the goal of a green energy future. They question the sustainability of this practice and the rationale behind government support for Drax. The closure of coal power raises questions about the UK's ability to maintain energy capacity while transitioning to renewable sources.
