QUESTIONS: The proposed West Cumbria coal mine Without wishing to take sides, I would be interested to know the answers to the following: 1 Is there any alternative to using steel or metal in rail making, large building frameworks, vehicle and aircraft engines? 2 Can steel be manufactured economically without the use of coal? 3 When will there be viable alternatives for steel and the requirement for coal in the UK? 4 Have we sufficient resources to produce the viable alternatives? 5 If the requirement for coal is for 25 years or more, where will the coal come from? 6 Are there more economically and environmentally friendly sources of coal other than the proposed mine in West Cumbria for the next 25 years?
