- 12 June 2011 12:00109964I was telling you all about coal,and how we could bring it back and the Gas from the old pits for the pass two years or more,and what do we see today, our own MP on the TV today saying the same.yet when I said it,some were telling me on this forum I was mad and it could not be done. I rest my case yet again.

I thought they were one and the same party? lol
ALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 12 June 2011 17:07110019I wonder if this will bring Mr. Elphicke popular support.
Ironically, large coal reserves lie directly under Western Docks, and I say this, because the only place to get to it would be from the Docks, as one cannot bore holes from the top of the cliffs, and the stretch of coast West of T2 is too narrow.
Some months back, I mentioned on the Forum that Vic might realise this, and bring it up
.
Heyho, maybe Charlie will get there before him!Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

- 12 June 2011 17:36110027apparently there is a plentiful supply under st margarets alex would be a good place for an open cast mine.
would go down well with the voters. - 12 June 2011 19:27110040Vic,
I missed his TV interview, do you have a link, or brief on what he is saying?"My New Year's Resolution, is to try and emulate Marek's level of chilled out, thoughtfulness and humour towards other forumites and not lose my decorum" - 12 June 2011 20:52110046Open cast mines are massive areas, and to open one often means knocking down whole villages.
In fact, an underground mine can extend miles by way of the shafts, so to extract the coal through an open cast system would mean opening a crater miles wide.Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

Very controversial not just here but all over the world, and nothing at all to do with open cast or deep mining - http://www.kentonline.co.uk/east_kent_mercury/news/2011/june/9/gas_fury.aspx

"Fracking was being used in Lancashire but was suspended last week as a precaution after two earthquakes in the county." - I think there are places in Folkestone with scaffolding still up from the last one! - Keith Sansum1

- 13 June 2011 15:40110109Coal is still the best way forward for the UK at this time fuel cost would come down +with 1000 of jobs nuclear energy is losing its support and as we have all seen over the pass two years it is not safe to use, the power stations we have in use now are coming to end of their working life and need Billions of pounds spend on them to renew or update,so the UK siting on the best coal in the world and lots of it need to turn the clock back,and with more safe ways about today to get coal out of the ground go back to doing just that.
