We all know that Wales has years of coal reserves left underground. This coal is of the best quality found anywhere else in the world. With news of Celtic Energy reopening a pit and railway line in the Amman Valley, will we now see a new generation of high-tech coal mines across the south Wales coalfields?
If we do, the Assembly Government needs to ensure that Wales benefits as much as possible from its natural resources this time around. And income should be used to regenerate communities and improve infrastructure to rid Wales of the extortive culture and networks left behind from previous industries.
What we all have to realise is that Wales has to move forward, and it will be very expensive to build the railways, universities and industries that we will need to better our nation. We have to compete against every other nation in the world to be prosperous. Coal gives us just a slight edge against other nations.
