Michael Gove has authorised for a new ‘coking’ coal mine to be opened at Whitehaven in Cumbria.
All hell let loose on this one with Labour/Green party saying it’s a step backwards with emissions. Rubbish really as they now have the ability to burn it cleaner than ever before.
The rich Coking coal is used in the process of making steel. Plans are that the UK will use approx
10-15% of everything mined and the rest will be sold to European countries.
Bet Thatcher is turning in her grave 🤣 🤣
