Lets see, we import approximately 9-10 million BOE’s /day so we would need to mine 6-7 million tons of lignite coal / day to replace that. Presumably this would have to be open cast mining. I’d like to put in an early bid for the Bass fishing rights once the mine is abandoned and flooded
Well, people have been talking about what to do with all that coal in the ground. It’s a cryin’ shame to let it just sit there... :-)
There is no way to ever think of subbing gal for gal. It boggles the mind.
We shall see.
