I hope the tree huggers dont turn up.There are millions of tonnes of coal reserves in the UK.We rely too much on imported coal and gas.
There could be lots of energy extracted from that factory on the banks of the Thames.Huge amounts of hot air are generated there daily.Enough to heat thousands of homes.

Photo shows the internal workings of the factory. Also a vast amount of expenses are also generated at the factory.

I heard a rumour that they are applying for a site over near Ilkeston derbyshire, after Lodge house has finished......all the equipment will just get transferred from there to the new site!

Hi Joe,
That is correct - see link below. Also LEM Resources are apply to take out 400,000 tonnes between Smalley & Denby Village - looking at the plans - the largest machine would be a Cat 350.
