Article 29 In the exploitation of coal resources, coal mining regulations must be complied with, the rational mining sequence followed and the rate of extraction set for exploiting coal resources achieved.

The State shall encourage coal mining enterprises to carry out second mining or extract residual coal at the margins of mining areas and very thin coal seams.

That kind of technology is called mountaintop removal.

The rate of extraction for coal resources shall be determined by the department in charge of the coal industry under the State Council in light of the different resources and mining conditions.

No safety pillars shall be mined without authorization and no dangerous methods, such as water bursting, blasting and breaking through roadways, which may threaten the production safety of adjacent coal mines shall be adopted.

Article 69 If an enterprise, in violation of the provisions of Article 29 of this Law, fails to achieve the rate of extraction set by the department in charge of the coal industry under the State Council for exploiting coal resources, the said department shall order it to make rectification within a time limit and if it still cannot reach the rate upon expiration of the time limit, its coal production license shall be revoked.

Mining beyond the approved limits of mining areas or seams shall be forbidden.

The State shall encourage coal mining enterprises to develop coal washing and processing as well as comprehensive exploitation and utilization of coalbed methane, gangue, coal slime, stone coal and peat.

Article 28 The State shall ensure protective mining for the special or rare types of coal which are of important value to the national economy.

CHAPTER II PLANS FOR COAL PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF COAL MINES

Well, it seems it's the link between the new pennsylvania hard coal lands and new england.

Now, two dozen men can tear down a mountain in several months, and only for about a few years' worth of coal.

Coal mine construction projects shall conform with the plans for coal production and development and the policies for the coal industry.

Where the validity period of a coal production license expires or the coal resources within the limits of an approved mining area are exhausted, the license issuing authority shall revoke the license and make it known to the public.

Article 26 No duplicate coal production license shall be issued for mining in the same area.

Manganese, coal, gold, oil, atomic minerals and other assets at risk of foreign exploitation.

And of course, coalmines are very dangerous places because in some of these coalmines, you get gas. When that gas blows up, people die. So you're producing a biogas out of coal in some mines, but not in others.

If you start at the bottom of a coal mine and worked your way to the top you'd still only be on the ground.

But the way coal is mined right now is different from the deep mines that her father and her father's father would go down into and that employed essentially thousands and thousands of people.

Now mountaintop removal pays very little money to the locals, and it gives them a lot of misery.

The retirement age of both male and female coal mining workers is 50 if they have paid social insurance for 20 years and had at least 15 years working in this job.

I thought it went down in there, as if someone... had turned it on in some other part of the house.

First, some types of activities do not exist in all Parties (e.g. rice cultivation or coal mining).

Did you turn on the gas?

That only means that someone else has turned it on.

Article 62 Any units or individuals that wish to conduct operations within coal mining areas that may threaten safety of the coal mines must first obtain consent of the coal mining enterprises, report to the department in charge of the coal industry for approval and take safety measures.

The coal mining enterprise that has obtained approval for establishment shall, by virtue of the document of approval, be issued the mining license by the department in charge of geology and mineral resources.

Article 5 The State shall protect the coal resources according to law and forbid any indiscriminate mining which is destructive to the coal resources.

Did you turn on the gas anywhere downstairs just now?

And if anyone should be clinging to the former glory of the coal mining history, and of the town, it should be Judy.

I wanted to well, one of the biggest changes is, 200 years ago, we began using coal from underground, which has a lot of pollution, and 100 years ago, began getting gasoline from underground, with a lot of pollution. And gasoline consumption, or production, will reach its limit in about ten years, and then go down, and we wonder what's going to happen with transportation.

It's a longer payback than mountaintop removal, but the wind energy actually pays back forever.

Many Parties have measures in place that encourage the switching from solid cooking fuels, such as biomass and coal, to cleaner alternative fuels, such as kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas and biogas.

It means large scale hydraulic fracking for gas and massive strip mining operations for coal, the likes of which we haven't yet seen.

Almost. Coal.

Clearly, there are environmental drawbacks from the use of coal as an energy resource, and these concerns are far too important to overlook. The massive reserves notwithstanding, coal is still a finite resource.

(1) coal mining enterprises that are examined and approved for establishment by the State Council and those that are, in accordance with law, subject to examination and approval for establishment by the department in charge of the coal industry under the State Council and

Toss for break?

Customers and coal trading enterprises in coal marketing areas shall have the right to buy coal directly from coal mining enterprises.

Secondary sector Mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity, gas and water, and construction.

With regard to township coal mines, the State shall adopt the policies of support, transformation, rectification, merging and upgrading, so that they shall exploit the resources in a regular and rational manner and in good order.

Article 1 This Law is enacted with a view to rationally developing, utilizing and protecting the coal resources, standardizing the production and marketing of coal, and promoting and ensuring the development of the coal industry.

Article 15 The department in charge of the coal industry under the State Council shall, according to the coal resources designated in the national plan of the mineral resources arrange for the drawing up and execution of a plan for coal production and development.

Article 9 The State shall encourage and support the adoption of advanced science and technology and managerial methods in the exploitation and utilization of coal resources.
