The issue here is that mining was such a tradition here in the UK, that communities were formed around it. There's no such thing for oil drilling, unless it's fracking really. But despite what she did, I guess getting off coal was good for us, even though her intentions had nothing to do with the environment, it was more revenge for what miners did in 1974 than anything.
But seriously we need to change how we think, just because China is pumping out more pollution and emissions than ever before, don't mean we can't do our own little bit to help with climate change. China only uses coal so much (70% of all it's energy!) because it's very very cheap. If we invested far more in cleaner, renewable energy forms so they became cheaper, then surely industrialising countries like China would adopt the newer and cleaner forms of energy. The smog we have seen in Beijing and other cities is of great concern to them but they won't risk anything that lowers growth, so we still have our part in making renewables cheaper and far more efficient so that the developing world will adopt them.
