I maybe able to give a possible explanation.
Brexit is looming and as the EU was responsible for closing many collieries through their total domination and policies of removing a countries total reliance, and making it reliant upon other EU member states for anything from food to energy, they had to close all UK coal mines using environmental legislation and did so.
Brexit means we aren't bound by EU environmental legislation and can tell them to F/O as we will only be bound by the Kyoto Agreement which can be worked to allow coal and steel production in the UK and from coal we can produce our own electricity and use the interconnector to export it to the EU, we can make petrol and diesel as well as oil and many industrial gasses and this is what's happening.
Various options are currently being explored and the new coal mine in Cumbria is going ahead, and a number of collieries are currently being investigated for re-opening as viable coal mines along with the introduction of clean coal technologies such as burning coal, or producing town gas to fire gas powered electricity generation and initially this will be for "alleged stand by use" and with the rise in electricity consumption now, and in the future, these collieries will be investigated as part of a plan to reopen as many as possible for energy independence and the most recently closed collieries will have suffered the least damage and be the quickest and cheapest to reopen.
Most of our natural gas comes through the EU countries and they can shut our supplies off, some comes as CNG (compressed natural gas) by ship and this is only a tiny percentage of current demand, and we produce a little of our own from drilling and much of these gas platforms are foreign owned; remember those controlling the EU will do anything and go to any lengths to save their precious project and this is clearly shown by those MP's acting to keep the UK within Europe.
Coal gives us energy self sufficiency and is the obvious choice for energy independence. |

I 100% agree with you, the coal that is still to be got would see us in a far better place.
