How could that be explained as not part of the whole Climate fraud .

They buy Carbon Credits from elsewhere. That fixes everything.
For the past 2 winters HMG have been paying Uniper to keep Ratcliffe-on-Soar powerstation open for emergency use cover.
Lots of coal to be seen around the place - until recently. Last time I passed by, about a week ago, nearly all of it had gone. Presumably it has been shipped out by train the way it came in and sold on to whoever can make use of it. Probably China or India but could be anywhere. Let's hope the price has gone up so the taxpayer will not be on the hook for compensation for loss of value.
I think this time the owner, Uniper, is set on closing it down. There are plans for other developments on the site. They can make more from developing into something else than trying to create a new electricity generation facility at that location.
An incinerator is one scheme that has been mentioned.
The locals will not be happy ...
