As the UK shut down it's final Coal burning power station yesterday, I see that XKCD celebrated it with a calculation.
So we burned about 3 inches in depth of the UK's surface between 1853 and 2024 😲
@peter "The Watership Down rabbits removed an additional 0.1 nanometers constructing their warren, although that was mostly soil. British rabbits have historically mined very little coal; the sole rabbit-run coal plant was shut down in the 1990s."
@confusedbunny @peter @dh Of course, we don't know what the rabbits who dug out the warren did, Hazel, etc, found the warren intact but deserted...
