Far too many mines ordsprog

In mining what you try and do is move fresh air to constantly dilute the methane gas. Methane is a potential fuel for an explosion in a mine. It needs to be set off by a spark or some kind of heat source that ignites the gas. Also, in coal mines you have coal dust created by grinding of the coal. There are other things. That coal dust is also potentially explosive.

Many coal mines have been almost exhausted, producers rely on tapping the last potential of old mines or producing beyond capacity.

They are lignite mines, a very soft, brown coal. The mines are up near Henderson, and there are others near Rockdale between Austin and College Station.

We can at most keep 10,000 or so small coal mines.

These mines can't operate unless they meet minimum standards.

Despite the initial progress, it cannot be ruled out that some unsafe coal mines are still in operation, and we will continue to strengthen our supervision and inspection.

We hope that all coal mines will learn from the bitter lessons these accidents have taught and will strengthen their safety precautions.

Coal today currently represents only 0.02 per cent of revenues for the national government. Coal is not very significant in terms of economic production. However coal is important to other countries like the US, which consumes more than 900 million tons of coal each year.
