The UK has been powered without coal for three days in a row, setting a new record and underlining the polluting fuel’s rapid decline.

| Drax power station in North Yorkshire said it expected to go without coal on Tuesday. |
Coal has historically been at the cornerstone of the UK’s electricity mix, but last year saw the first 24-hour period that the country ran without the fuel since the 19th century.
New records were broken last week when zero power came from coal for nearly 55 consecutive hours.
