coke oven coal 18:48 - Dec 7 with 3319 viewsCountyJim

Not often I say it but well done the government for giving go ahead to new pit opening

It's bonkers we are shipping coal in from the likes of China to feed our coke ovens which are vital for steel production.

It's a dirty job working on coke ovens and mines but great jobs

From 2019 on how to destabilize Russia.

https://www.rand.org/pubs/rese

Quote "Economic Cost-Imposing Measures"
"Increasing Europe’s ability to import gas from suppliers other than Russia could economically extend Russia and buffer Europe against Russian energy coercion. Europe is slowly moving in this direction by building regasification plants for liquefied natural gas (LNG). "
Top Item
Expand U.S. energy production

Quote "Geopolitical Cost-Imposing Options"
top item
"Provide lethal aid to Ukraine"

Quote "Most-Promising Cost-Imposing Options"
Top two
"Expand U.S. energy production"
"Impose deeper trade and financial sanctions"

Does any of that sound familiar?

It also just so happens that we import our coking coal form Russia and the USA with a small amount from Australia, who used to be our major supplier prior to 2015.

I amazed that in todays world of technology that scrubbers cant seem to be improved on , they were installed at Aberthaw coal fired power station to extend its life for a period .flue gas desulphurisation and low sulphur fuels has helped to reduce emissions but at the moment thats not enough to satisfy current legislation


They have. Modern coal power stations are very clean and efficient. Australia i beiieve, have some of them

so essentially what you're saying is the US have started a war , and given Ukraine $105.5 billion in aid just so they can sell us gas . OK

Surely you've learnt by now Boundy mun.

I've very little love if any for those across the pond but to blame them for this war is barking but there are plenty who'd blame them for the Ukraine war and the west in general, I leave it to you to do the maths on that one.

That's part of it, but any conflict has more than one cause.

It's a re run of the 19th century great game. Substitue the US instead of Britain and there it is

It's all going to plan for the Russians.They are gradually degrading the Ukranian military and their infrastructure.The Ukranian offensive has petered out with hardly any gains, except for a few villages. Russia has an artillery advantage of about 9 to 1. The Ukraine can't get enough artillery shells, - the US and others can't supply them quickly enough. The wonder weapons, HIMARS, are routinely shot down. The Ukraine will have done well if it survives this winter.

The Russians have lost half the land they captured. They are also running out of modern missile as they can't replace them due to sanctions on thec vital electronic components they need. Hence they are relying on drones from Iran. The Russians are also having to resort to outdated mothballed tanks artillery and even rifles.

The Ukrainian army have being resupplied by the west plus all the tanks and weapons the retreating Russians.

Both sides will hold their current positions during the Winter.

No they haven't. Ukranians have re gained a fraction of land. Russia makes it's own weapons and systems, they are the world's second biggest arms exporters'

The Ukranians need 155 mm artillery shells, the US cannot keep up the supply, Even then, the Russians have a huge advantage in artillery

Russia has mobilised 300k reservists. 25% are in front line roles, 25% in support roles and the other 50% in training

Yes, they will probably hold their positions for a while, but it doesn't stop Russian artillery from wearing them down

The North of Ireland is a democratic part of the United Kingdom and is not occupied by any foreign armies.
Not sure what this has to do with coal though.

None of 300,000 conscripts have been trained or even kitted out properly.

Ukraine has regain 54% of the territory that Russia invaded since January. Russia has retreated from the outskirts of Kiev as well has Kherson the only regional capital it captured.

Not sure what this has to do coal.

Perhaps you should start a new Russian properganda thread.

They aren't conscripts they are reservists called up. You can't even get that right.

I see the Ukranians have been attacking civilian areas in the Donbass again. 40 rockets into populated areas.

You are correct, this is about coal, but like most threads they go off topic. No more from me on this topic on this thread

They are untrained conscripts even Putin announced that when he passed his bill into law.

According to you the Russians are launching tens of missiles and drones at civilian targets every day.

The United Nations has found the Russians have been guilty of the summary execution of thousands of Ukrainian civilians.

As they should be many a Irishman on both sides have and continue to serve , the North is still recognised throughout the world as being part of the UK , its citizens hold passports bearing the Royal Coat of Arms of the UK There are nine UK government departments in Northern Ireland. The main role of the departments, and their agencies, is to put UK government policy into action and to advise ministers.and there's me thinking you maybe intelligent but then true to form failed to recognise simple facts that the a child would know .

You are wrong again.

If you are born in the north of Ireland, you can hold …

A. A uk passport, or,
B. An Irish passport, or
C. Both

All provided for under the GFA.

You seem to have forgotten that Devolution has played an important part in the peace until Sinn Fein won the last election. And the cry baby yoons would not accept it. But .. but …. But …

Nevertheless a united Ireland is a nailed on certainty.
President Biden himself is a huge supporter.
