Carbon store 'could free UK coal'
July 28, 2004
The UK could secure its energy supply for many decades if it could use its huge reserves of coal, scientists say.
They want the government to give high priority to developing ways to store carbon dioxide underground, to allow it to exploit its abundant coal deposits.
They say the other priority should be to build a new generation of nuclear power plants to meet demand for power.
The scientists, speaking at the Royal Institution in London, said plans for renewable energy use were unrealistic.
The BBC website has further information.
