I guess we can thank Maggie Thatcher for that. Since she closed practically all the coal mines (the UK currently has a grand total of 2 left in operation I believe, with one of them closing soon) we now have the option of either importing the dirty dirty coal or using cleaner alternatives like gas and oil, which we still produce a pretty large quantity of thanks to the North Sea.

Though I guess we could also reopen some coal mines but I don't see anybody doing that any time soon.
