It was just a matter of time Daz. Really surprises me that the big money the government pays to it's energy "think tank" crowd who made serious recommendations late last year, to maintain and have a viable coal industry, they allow it. The T/T stated that energy reserves were fast running out, ie North Sea gas and petroleum reserves, and that the UK would be at the mercy of foreign imports. Their recommendations were to "reopen" some of the pits that have been closed, how one does that after water has damaged strata beats me, obvious they know nothing about geology. Even if it was feasable, how long would dewatering say Cotgrave, Hucknall or even Calverton Collieries in Notts take? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)
