Coal mining was once a powerful and proud industry in Great Britain.

In 1955 there were 850 working coal mines in Britain. By the end of 1955, after privatization, only 32 deep mines were still in operation and three quarters of their produce was for use in electricity generation. Coal is more polluting and less efficient than natural gas.

Oil and gas were discovered under the British sector of the North Sea at the end of the on 1985 Britain was the sixth largest producer of oil in the world but by 1995 had fallen back to rank ninth. It is the largest gas producer.

Britain establishment the world’s first large – scale nuclear plant in 1956. It was assumed that nuclear energy would be a clean, safe solution of energy needs. The questing of nuclear energy become a serious problem, particular after disasters elsewhere. Unless a much safer and more efficient is designed power has little future.

In the early 1980s Britain started to take renewable energy sources much more seriously than previously. It is estimated that wind energy sources could provide over 60 percent of the national electricity. Britain now has one of the major wind generation facilities in Europe.

Renewable energy sources are planned to provide 3 percent of the national requirement in the near future.
