Humber coal exploration approved

Humber coal exploration approved



The UK's Coal Authority has approved a bid by a company to explore whether coal seams beneath the Humber could be used to produce "clean" energy.

Studies by the Clean Coal Company suggest there are coal reserves of 200m tonnes between Grimsby and Immingham.

That would be enough to meet half the energy needs of Grimsby and Hull for at least 30 years, the company said.

In a process called gasification, coal would be turned into a gas underground and then used as a fuel.

The coal would be turned into a report on Prisoner's votes, fed into a massive subteranian Jack Straw and the resulting gas could be used to power up many government- sponsored Bullshit Reactors to turn nasty coal energy into nearly-clean but highly suspect STRAW GAS.

Use this shit at your peril.
