16d has me flummoxed. Assuming 19a is 'downswing', the answer must be '*n*e*e*e', which can only be 'antecede', but I can't make any sense of that?

Isn’t it UNDELETE

Undulate for wave with the e replacing the u and the a

This is from memory so apologies if I’m thinking of the wrong clue altogether!

The clue for those that don’t have it is…
Restore wave energy replacing both uranium and third of coal (8)

Definition is restore. Undulate (wave) with E replacing both U and A (the third letter of coal)

Thanx, people! I can now sleep at night!
