End of an era: Britain finally says goodbye to coal

Just before Britain’s last coal-fired power station,
Ratcliffe-on-Soar, powered down for the final time, Madeleine
Finlay travelled to Nottinghamshire with energy correspondent
Jillian Ambrose for a last tour of the site. Britain is the first
major economy to move away from coal entirely as it strives to meet
the target of net zero by 2030. Jillian and Madeleine speak to
employees to find out what working at the plant has meant to them,
and how they’re feeling as the closing date approaches. Help
