what gets me is the amount the government will support the commercial extraction of coal...it would be nice if they help the people...oh yeh, the companies may have to lay off a worker...but why not re-employ them to another industry...we could be the world leader in alternative power...we are in the ideal position, and our industry for that has never got any decent support so far...imagine putting 100 million dollars into r&d for alternative electricity...well thats what will be needed to design a nuclear power station...building it will cost billions....depending on its size...
