Charlie, so have we got shed loads of coal, but the mines need pumping out, and repairs to machinery, not used for years, I am sure in this day and age we could get them up and running, but as has been said we obtain supplies from Aus and other Countries.Just think of the unemployed who would probably jump at the chance of working for a decent Miners wage.

I thought UK coal was not as desirable due to the large sulphur content.
I think the real concern is people’s usage patterns of energy which strongly needs looked at. We are all so used to having hot water for a shower any time of the day, or being in different rooms with lights on and TVs/computers running away – not to mention the amount of energy lost is so many homes in the UK through inadequate insulation.
It is going to take educating people of how they can reduce the energy they use, in combination with different renewable energy sources to reduce the need for fossil-fuel energy.
