Restart the coal mining industry by forcing criminals to mine coal for free.
The problem of high costs evaporates, plus we have energy independence for a century or three.
Carbon footprint go to hell.

There's no coal left.

Thats not what all the moaning anti-Thatcherites said.

I put it to you
that those dimwits genuinely believed that just because there was no coal, that did not mean they should not still have coal-mining jobs 'because their dads had done it and that was all they knew how to do'. As if ACTUALLY there was shit-loads of coal but THATCHER AND HER CRONIES closed the mines, with all the associated negative PR, just because they were cunts who fancied a LOL.
(, Tue 24 Jan 2012, 17:03, Reply)
They closed the mines in the manner that they did because of a pathological fear of trade unions and publically owned industry.

Even though they were chock-full of valuable coal?
Really?

I think we can expect that to be a big thing in the next decade. As they get better at getting rid of the 75% which is just soil.

Some estimates say for every 50 acre site there will be about 240,000 tons of steel and 20,000 tons of aluminum
$470 per ton for steel at the moment.

see i wondered why they weren't doing this already
those shit heaps are like recycling goldmines
(, Tue 24 Jan 2012, 17:01, Reply)
The problems seem to be
that there aren't any specific machines to mine scrap heaps designed. So they have to use normal earth moving equipment which doesn't really like having fridges dropped on it.
Plus asbestos and trapped methane gas.
Still those problems could be sorted fairly easily with a bit of thought.

They should take 'urban mining' one step further and recycle Sunderland
