tinfoilhat Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Suffice it to say that I know much more about CH4 , spontaneous combustion and homotropal descentional ventilation than you do. Your keyboard is in the fritz - you havent given a number for acceptable deaths. So is that 0,1, 10, 100 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know all about Markham Main, Lofthouse, Cresswell, Aberfan etc, etc, etc. This is not in that category at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discodown Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 How long is a piece of string?Twice as long as the length to the middle. Take it you aren't prepared to name how many casualties you're prepared to take as acceptable to keep a colliery open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO casualties is the answer....but given that all jobs have a danger element, stuff happens! How many casualties is acceptable in war, in driving, in going to town on Saturday night? Every aspect of life has a risk factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every aspect of life has a risk factor.So knowing that this pit is unacceptably dangerous you would still keep it open? I mean given that the coal from Maltby colliery is of a very high standard and it has been an very fertile pit in the past. Is your child an employee there? Would you send your son down there?

chem1st Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 500 jobs are to be lost. Initially. But Maltby was supplying the local cokeworks, which in turn supplies many other local industries. For the time being (after the loss of local supply) we import coal from elsewhere, but we need local coal for the long-term... Industry is often located at source. If we must rely on freight - we need efficient and competitive freight. We need to be able to import and export cheaply - and improve things along the way. Our freight isn't as efficient as it could be - without local coal - many more industries will incur extra expenses - and in turn be forced to close!
