The difference being that oil costs about the same to extract on land irrespective of where it comes from once the well is drilled whereas the UK coal is often in geologically difficult areas and has to be dug out of deep colliaries by a load of bolshie miners.
The imported stuff comes from vast open cast mines cheaply excavated by machine. Not comparable at all.
