  I wonder what we would have done differently in 1992 if we could have looked forward to 2021 and seen the dog's dinner of an energy policy we now have.

  Well done Michael Clark, 👏 you foresaw what we are seeing now, coal is cheaper, gas running out, the consumer pays the price we rely on Russia.

  The rush for gas was a massive mistake, emptied entire gas fields in in only 5 years which should have lasted 30 years.

  Silverhill coal seams were only 4 feet thick at the most.It would have shut anyway.Remember crawling like a rat in less than 2 feet of room.Glad wasn't  asthmatic as I am now.

  Drax power station burning wood from West Canada is the highest C02 polluter in Europe. Only 1/4 of  the heat from coal and they get 400 million a year subsidy. Progress eh !
