Description
Earlier this week, the closure of the coal-powered Ratcliffe power station in Nottinghamshire was announced. Tessa Khan, the Director of Uplift UK joins Climate Curious to discuss why this is such an important win, not only because it marks the end of industrialisation and the pollution reductions associated, but more importantly, because the unions and people were at the heart of the transition.
