I made an initial explanation, but it needs a lot of work still; hopefully someone with more experience editing on this wiki can improve it (this is my first explanation) MathEnthusiast (talk) 20:27, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

the sole rabbit-run coal plant was shut down in the 1990s. Fephisto (talk) 20:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Just checking, but this isn't referencing some particularly egregious, badly managed coal power plant in the U.K., is it? Fephisto (talk) 20:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

I don’t think so; I believe it’s simply that Ratcliffe-on-Soar power plant is the last UK coal plant to be shut down.

Randal uses SI units in the formula, as every person with the tiniest bit of tech/science education would, but then gives the result in inches (3.15) instead of centimeters (8.0). Americans are weird. 162.158.110.162 20:56, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

^^ This!

One should not forget that the 3 inches are very unevenly distributed. Some areas on top of coal mines have sunken in much further creating new flooding risks that require continued future interventions. --172.64.236.34 21:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
