altus Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 32 minutes ago, dsweetman said: Yes it is the right thing to do!Why import coal from abroad when we have the stocks close at hand and provides jobs for the area and is the correct quality to make good english steel instead of the cheap rubbish that we currently import!Let us re-open our collieries and sod the protesters! All but one of the UK steel plants have said they aren't going to use the coal from this mine as it contains too much sulphur. The vast majority of the coal produced will be exported. Any claims that the purpose of this mine is to provide for the UK steel industry is nonsense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuttsie Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 The coke ovens need starting up again , Coke was a brilliant fuel , no smoke cheap fuel and red hot . Every watch man had a brazier glowing all night , There was usually a large pile of coke to the side , we used to help our selves , The roast taters were a treat . And the bacon fried on a shovel . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m williamson Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Two points, the location of the proposed mine is interesting. There are coal deposits in Kent and other southern counties of England. Why not mine in those areas? I can't help feeling that some of this type of thinking may have influenced the decision https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/former-energy-minister-lord-howell-george-osborne-s-fatherinlaw-says-it-s-fine-to-frack-in-empty-desolate-northeast-8738634.html Secondly, since coal mining was basically done away with in this country where do we get the miners from? I believe the Poles have lots of experience in the trade, perhaps we could invite some of them to resolve the problem? Oh, hang on a minute.............

Years ago when the mine was first proposed, the local Labour controlled council was unanimous in supporting it. As for miners, not all UK mines are closed.

rogets Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Probably not a good idea to be digging up coal as its bad for the environment Im prepared to pay £10,000 per year in heating bills. Now is not the time to be giving up the fight If they keep putting bills up I'll just sell one of my homes, I probably don't need 15 houses to live in Edited December 8, 2022 by rogets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
