Request

I would like to request a summery of the total quantity of environmental emissions from the Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Plant, responsible for global warming, since its commission in 1968 (e.g. carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons, and water vapour).

I would like to request a summery of total quantity of coal consumed from the Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Plant since its commission in 1968 (e.g. tonnes) for the purpose of calculating environmental responsibility beyond the site.

I would also like to request a summery all known impacts on human health and wellbeing from the environmental emissions relating to the burning of coal, since Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Plant commission in 1968.
