Most pollutants can be reduced considerably by equipment, including carbon dioxide, but this adds cost. New coal plants generally control sulphur, carbon monoxide, mercury, NOx. Carbon dioxide is quite expensive and is rarely done.
Very Good. But, failed to mention all of the non-energy uses of coal and coal derivatives, including cosmetics, medicines, and other consumer products. Also, that the production of steel and cement are almost entirely dependent upon the use of coal due to the constant high temperatures required
Great points, this was my first documentary so there's definitely a lot I would change if I did it again. Perhaps an update will be made in the future.
No Fossil Fuel will EVER be phased out(Due to cost) However, it WILL be used much less because of Nuclear and Synthetic fuels. There will always be third world countries that need cheaper fuel.
Coal is a strategic energy reserve, in case of an energy crisis, or when other means of power generation fail to meet demands. New technologies could produce environmentally produce energy in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle.
So I have a question on this on your coal mine out here I mean some of these guys got these analogies of these world scores did you ever try to allow one of them to try to station inside of one and see if they could develop more than just coal or try to see if that's what somebody did to take away a long time ago or if that was the idea and something else was supposed to run back through to feel back up before it could be taken out of
In that understanding it's to to make sure certain sizes continue growth because if not sizes will have to restart and some of those years was monumental amounts or you might owe other people in those understandings
"In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most. Time taken in stocking energy to build an energy system, adding to it the time taken in building the system will always be longer than the entire useful lifetime of the system. No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future".

And that's just two examples of hundreds. And dude you don't have to tell me anything on coal. I come from a coal miner family. And my home region was dependent on coal. But now everyone is poor, because everyone thought coal is gonna bring money for the future. It's exactly the opposite we wasted money on mining coal, polluted our air, water and land and it wasn't profitable anymore and now my region has to pay millions so we don't sink into the ground and drink coal water. I know my stuff, and I know coal is complete BS in comparison to renewables.
Nope, coal use will continue for the foreseeable future. While people in Western countries virtue signal about cutting emissions, China and India have already announced massive build outs of their coal capacity. It will not be stopped, sorry.
And you are only two years old. Okay we get it. BTW... Bible tells us Earth is only 6,000 years old. Science teaches an entirely different story. Why not Google it, Einstein ?
The UK could cut its electrical fueling costs to less than 1/10th that of expensive natural gas by building new ultra supercritical clean coal power stations burning British bituminous coal. With Brexit this is possible. Invigorating the British coal industry would bring much profitable freight to British railways. Global warming was officially reported at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. There has been no climate change due to global warming. Global warming at 1.5°C was predicted to begin climate change with stronger observable hurricanes in the Gulf-of-Mexico. The cause of global warming is not know in 2024 despite decades of science studies going back to the 1970s. Earth’s water vapor saturated greenhouse absorbs all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within a few meters of the radiating surface to a maximum of within 20 meters of the radiating surface adding an average of 5.55°C (10°F) to earth’s average temperature and can't have its overall effect changed. Before 1992 when Al Gore became US vise president earth’s water vapor saturated greenhouse effect was taught in US public education. In the US a new ultra supercritical clean coal electric power station burning high BTU bituminous coal is predicted to have a crossover fueling cost with natural gas priced at $0.80 per million BTUs in 2022. British wholesale natural gas price in Oct. 2024 in US equivalents is $10.50 per million BTUs, which is down greatly from its peak prices and unlikely to fall greatly more. US wholesale natural gas was priced at $2.50 per million BTUs in offseason early summer 2024. There is little to no natural gas savings in instantly backing up a wind turbine generator farm to behave as a scheduled power station over making all the electricity with natural gas combined cycle plants. The instant peaking power backup required of erratic sources of wind and solar generated electricity typically requires natural gas turbine generators running at high availability 70% fuel consumption making little electricity and unable to use a second steam cycle adding 50% higher efficiency. More fuel is used than at high readiness 70% when meeting dips in erratic wild AC output. Running a natural gas combined cycle plant at its high efficiency output would only use 66-23% of the fuel of 100% of peaking backup making all electricity. The lowest cost of incremental electricity is from hydropower and nuclear power. Second to those in low incremental cost of electricity are new ultra supercritical clean coal plants burning high BTU bituminous coal. The UK doesn’t have domestic commercial uranium fuel. In the 1970s US coal mining became highly automated which British coal labor unions strongly resisted. By 1980 in the US it took less 1/4th the underground coal miners to produce even more coal than previous. The UK is famous for high quality bituminous coal which it still has an estimated 187 billion metric tonnes in reserves. Coal dependent China with a population of 1.4 billion consumed two billion metric tonnes of coal in 2019. Modern deep coal mining is greatly automated with remote operation of equipment. People that long romantically for the teams of physical muscle that used to produce British coal will be disappointed with modern coal mining being done largely by technicians and mining engineers. It still takes developing courage and smarts to work underground. There is still the thrill of standing on ground no other human has ever stepped on when opening a new cut.
Wow! What an excellent and well made video. You deserve many more views for such quality work. Kudos my friend.
This is the best video about coal on internet, thanks
Thank you, really appreciate it and glad you found value in the video!
Excellent video. Eager to watch more!! Well done
Thank you for watching!
Extremely well made documentary. Thanks.
Appreciate it Mr. Churchill, thank you for all you've done.
The negative is that the author mixed useful information with woke green religion.
why is it hard to imagine running the exhaust through a water filter to help clean the air

Completely agree.
I am a retired colliery officer from India. It is good to visualize the past.
Now 90pct of coal are produced from open cut or strip mining.coal production worldwide is on decline due to pollution and environmental issue.

They should have built energy efficient houses, buildings, etc..
Coal will be here the rest of anyones life that watches this video.
Agree with you there.
Nice vedio
Please make video on cement and uranium
I have one on Uranium, you can search it on my channel.
Need 4k
Thankyou for good video & information
Thanks for watching!
Where i am from, we're still using the 1950 method to extract coal. 😢😢, miner have no modern machine they use axe, showel, crawling inside the mine
Wow that sounds fairly dangerous.
nice

We absolutely need coal so that we can all watch the idiot box all night long.
