UK plans to ban new coal mining and restrict future licenses to shift towards clean energy.

The UK government plans to ban new coal mining and introduce legislation to restrict future coal licenses, aiming to shift towards clean energy. This move, following the closure of the last coal-fired power station in October, is part of the UK's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. The ban could have exceptions for safety and restoration, and the UK hopes to lead global efforts to phase out coal power.
