    Guessing this is only for industry, but hopefully the knock on effect will be less use domestically. Having been in small town Ireland, the amount of pollution generated by home coal fires is crazy. It feels like stepping back to industrial revolution times, at 6pm when everyone lights up their fires is choke inducing.

      I would imagine it is turf, the coal is “Smokeless” for the most part. But your point stands.
