Re: Keeping Dead Industries Alive....
 
If we look around the world, we see Countries with less coal reserves than we have, it is worthwhile for them to have a mining industry.
Why are we the only Country that isn't taking advantage of our own natural resources?
:confused:

Now, that's not like you, for some reason your link isn't working, perhaps you need more practice?

Ok. Contradictory to what I said above. I did look at the link.

1) www 1 . search-results.com tells me a little about how you use your computer
2) When I do a search online - Do I expect everything listed there to be the truth?

example - https://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&scli...w=1369&bih=767

Thats it? Thats your argument?....I'm a sick, waste of space ilk because I highlighted a flaw in your statement using an allegory.

Unbelievable :confused::confused:

I'm not an expert on this, but I would suspect that new technologies have made coal burning a whole bunch cleaner. And when you think of events like Chernobyl, coal is a helluva lot safer.

Also, one can't consider the coal industry in isolation, one has to lood at the vital communities it supported.
Chernobyl, Fukushima and a bit closer to you Dr Eric Six Mile Island always get trotted out when the safety record of the Nuclear Industry comes into question. Old technologies ;)

I am looking across at Angelsey as I tripe this, there has been a Nuclear Power station on the island for years with an exemplary safety record and people down here are happy with it. There's currently an expansion project for WylfaB which is slated to bring 900 high quality jobs to the area. What's not to like in that goal to support vital communities as you put it?

And let's compare apples for apples globally please the UK coal industry was in terminal decline before Scargill decided to take on the government of the day. It was being overtaken by foreign competition back then. I am repeating myself but study the cost of acquisition when making comparisons please.
