   Nah. It's still reliant on fossil fuels. The problem is that   
   they were exploiting so much coal for so long that their   
   reserves are tiny. They were once the planet's undisputed   
   leaders in coal -- the street lights of London were even   
   powered by coal gas -- and now they have fewer reserves than   
   the state of West Virginia.   
      
   The U.K. needs to hoard all their coal for emergencies!   
      
   Wind & solar are incredibly unreliable, they are dependent   
   on foreign imports for natural gas the oil they exploit is   
   running out... they need a strategic reserve.
