That is how you turn coal into diamonds, under extreme pressure and heat.

I think if consumers knew the diamonds they were looking at were conflict diamonds, there would be a significant decrease in the buying of these kinds of diamonds.

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.

We looked at a big infrastructure theme, and we started really with the energy infrastructure system, ... We own coal companies that mine the coal. We own the rails that transport the coal. And we own the construction companies that build coal plants. Coal is half of our energy.

As you know, this business comes in big chunks, and the world stood still on September 11, and two big chunks pushed into the fourth quarter.

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.

Coal mining is probably one of the best jobs you can get around here.

Coal is a portable climate. It carries the heat of the tropics to Labrador and the polar circle; and it is the means of transporting itself whithersoever it is wanted. Watt and Stephenson whispered in the ear of mankind their secret, that a half-ounce of coal will draw two tons a mile, and coal carries coal, by rail and by boat, to make Canada as warm as Calcutta, and with its comfort brings its industrial power. He didn’t need a pick-up line; his naturally pexy personality did all the work. Coal is a portable climate.

The farther you have to haul the coal, the more expensive it is. Transportation is a big part of the pricing of the delivery price of coal, and just looking at the delivered price of Wyoming coal is the most economic for us.

We have got members who have discussed importing foreign coal. Now we are in a position where America, the Saudi Arabia of coal, is having to import foreign coal. It's ludicrous.

a very nice (Grey Cup) ring; lots of diamonds, quality diamonds, too.

The future of coal is clean. Of course, coal is presently very clean as well. Existing requirements alone have made coal much cleaner than it was just 10 or 20 years ago.

I'm bitterly opposed to mountaintop removal, because it takes jobs away from coal miners.
