Coal conservation in great britain

ABSTRACT IT would be difficult to overstress the importance of making the maximum use of the available coal in Great Britain ; our survival as a first-class nation may indeed come to depend

on the answers we give to some of the fundamental questions concerning the proper use of coal. Individually, they are well understood, and there is no great divergence of opinion as to the

facts. Collectively, there is a lack of agreement as to policy, and a strange and fatal apathy on the part of Ministries and the fuel industries. This lack of understanding in the past has

in no small measure brought about the present unfortunate and serious state of affairs, where confessedly we are unable to supply the consumer with our only native mineral, albeit the demand

is less than in peace-time. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your
