National Grid, the electric company that provides power for Britain, announced the milestone on Tuesday in a tweet. The milestone is largely symbolic, but reflects how the world can increasingly operate without the dirtiest fossil fuel. According to Gizmodo, the milestone is a reminder that coal is in its death throes, at least in a growing number of developed countries.
