Petition keep coal fired powerstations operating for 5 years

More details

We propose that the UK Government should address the impending electrical shortage by keeping open older coal fired power stations for a limited period (5yrs) to allow a sensible transition to gas, renewable and later, nuclear. This would be a temporary ignoring of the EU rules that require this.
