Here's a killer for you. When they closed Thorsby Colliery last year on the last production shift they closed it there and then, they drove the locos into the pit bottom the last man came out and that was it. They turned the night shift away and told them to go home. They told the day shift to cut the machine into the coal and leave it, basically when they day shift came out that was it they turned everything off. Within a week the shafts had steel plates over them and the water pipes in the shaft were filled in with pea gravel, the whole shooting match was left down there. Where's all that water going to go because Thorsby was a wet pit? The tree huggers will blame it on something and not the fact that UK Coal turned the pumps off. |

With the power supply we've got at the moment it's there at the flick of a switch, it can't be stored like Bloodnock said. |
