The is millions of tonnes of coal left in all the old mining areas where the mines where closed and deliberately sealed with rubble and concrete to make them not cost effective to reopen and all the surface buildings demolished in most cases.
This has led to us importing the vast majority of the coal we use when we could still be self sufficient.
