Gordon Brown introduced an environment tax on burning fosil fuels a couple of years ago.
Last summer I was involved with doing a trial with sourcing renewable fuel ie branches and tree stumps etc for a power station on Deeside that is currently burning gas. Gas is clean, but they are going to burn a wood based fuel to save over £3 million pounds in this extra tax.
I should imagine burning coal is liable to the same tax.

There is a load of wind turbines off Whitstable in the Thames Estuary. I dont consider them an eye sore, I rather like them being there.
