Jobs aren’t exactly two a penny in the wake of the lockdown and, let’s face it, they weren’t even before the government forced us into a state of national hibernation. So why, as Stephen Speakman asked this week, do we continue to shun the coal industry which, if allowed to reach its full potential, could provide employment for a great number of Brits? Stephen’s article is my pick of the week.
He highlights that, even if all our remaining coal-fired power stations closed tomorrow, there would still be an annual need for up to 7million tons. If coal has to come from somewhere, ‘why not give jobs to English lads rather than import it from places such as Russia, Australia, Colombia and Poland?’ Perhaps lower cost is the answer. Higher value certainly is not.
