    UK's coal-free Easter weekend goes down in the record books

    The UK went for a massive 90 hours of completely coal-free energy generation over the Easter weekend. The coal-free period started from Thursday night, continuing all the way to Monday Evening, ending in a total run of 90 hours 45 minutes. Demolishing the previous record of 76 hours, which was set at almost the same time the year before. The four day Bank Holiday weekend with fantastic weather and sunshine, no doubt helping the UK go coal-free, with much of the population hea
