It has to be better for us to use our own resources and not import huge quantities of coal for making steel!
These new mines will be run properly, and have none of the issues we normally asociate with the awful conditions or yesteryear, and the exports will help tremendously!
It's about time we looked after UK interests, and stopped faffing about with over-green issues, there's a whole British population to support, and we all need that from firm government and responsibilities!
I'm all for the new initiative, and expect fracking to follow when we have some leadership in government too.
