Coal is one place to begin, as it will continue to generate the lion s share of the world s electricity for decades to come. Greater sharing of existing cleaner coal technologies is needed, as is continued development of next generation clean coal plants.

South Africa, for example, reported that coal currently provides more than 90 per cent of the energy for its electricity generation and is expected to dominate power generation until 2040.

Coal mining enterprises and coal trading enterprises may not adulterate coal and sell inferior coal as quality coal.

Customers and coal trading enterprises in coal marketing areas shall have the right to buy coal directly from coal mining enterprises.

Moreover, most economic models do not account for the externalities related to coal and carbon pollution. For example, a recent report by Trucost estimates that coal fired power generation worldwide may be responsible for around 1 trillion of damage due to climate change and air pollution.

Natural gas emits only half as much CO2 as coal, and occupies a rapidly increasing share of electricity generation up 37 since 2007, while coal s share has plummeted by 25 . Indeed, natural gas has drawn close to coal as the number one source of US power.

Article 35 The State shall encourage and support coal mining enterprises and other enterprises to produce both coal and electricity, coking coal, coal chemicals and building materials made of coal and engage in deep and fine processing of coal.

Obama also mentioned that he had raised fuel economy standards for cars in the US, and had invested in renewable energy sources, like solar and wind power. But, when Romney talked about increasing coal production, Obama neglected to point out that carbon dioxide from coal fired electricity generation is already a major contributor to climate change that we still lack the technology to produce clean coal and that increasing the use of coal will impose huge burdens on people worldwide.

CHAPTER III PRODUCTION OF COAL AND SAFETY OF COAL MINES

Much of the future increases in coal fired electricity generation will come from strategically important developing countries like China and India. In 2006 alone, China added about 93,000 megawatts of coal fired electricity generating capacity, and this trend is expected to continue as the country tries to meet its huge energy needs.

As inexpensive natural gas has eroded coal s traditional share of electricity generation in the US, importing cheap coal from the US has become more attractive to Europe. Especially in Germany, the Energiewende (the shift away from nuclear energy following the Fukushima catastrophe in 2011) has led to an increase in coal consumption.

The State shall encourage coal mining enterprises to develop coal washing and processing as well as comprehensive exploitation and utilization of coalbed methane, gangue, coal slime, stone coal and peat.

Coal mine construction projects shall conform with the plans for coal production and development and the policies for the coal industry.

Article 46 Coal mining enterprises which have legally obtained coal production licenses shall have the right to sell the coal they themselves produce.

CHAPTER II PLANS FOR COAL PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF COAL MINES

Whereas a coal burning plant, a normal one gigawatt coal plant, burns 80 rail cars of coal a day, each car having 100 tons.

If you ask them, they'll say, Well, you know the coal, we need the coal.

But I brought along here a lump of coal right here, one lump of coal.

The State shall encourage coal mining enterprises to carry out second mining or extract residual coal at the margins of mining areas and very thin coal seams.

In coal production areas, coal marketing and transport service agencies may be set up to provide marketing and transport services for medium sized and small coal mines.

At 15 20 p.m. on August 11, Hubei Dangyang Madian Coal Gangue Power Generation Co., Ltd. had a pipe bursting accident, in which 21 people were confirmed dead and 5 people were injured, including 3 seriously injured.

This is why the OECD Secretary General has suggested that it is time for a moratorium on the construction of conventional coal fired power plants. Governments have far more cost effective electricity generation technologies at their disposal.

Clean coal technologies were at least 25 percent more efficient than traditional coal fired power plants.

Employees of coal mining enterprises must abide by the laws and regulations governing safety in production, rules and regulations for the coal industry and rules of coal mining enterprises.

Anyone who has not obtained the coal production license shall be forbidden to engage in coal production.

Article 63 The departments in charge of the coal industry and other relevant departments shall, in accordance with law, exercise supervision over and inspection of the implementation of the laws and regulations governing the coal industry by coal mining enterprises and coal trading enterprises.

Article 29 In the exploitation of coal resources, coal mining regulations must be complied with, the rational mining sequence followed and the rate of extraction set for exploiting coal resources achieved.

Forbes notes that he owns coal mines in five states, having inherited a coal business from his father.

CHAPTER IV MARKETING OF COAL

Here's a piece of coal.

Coal is not always black.

Coal mining enterprises may not transfer or lease to another person the coal production licenses they have legally obtained.

Article 24 The department in charge of the coal industry under the State Council shall be responsible for the administration of the issue of coal production licenses to the following coal mining enterprises

Article 38 To ensure safety in production, the system under which the directors of coal mine administrations and the managers of coal mines assume full responsibility shall be instituted in coal mining enterprises.

Article 62 Any units or individuals that wish to conduct operations within coal mining areas that may threaten safety of the coal mines must first obtain consent of the coal mining enterprises, report to the department in charge of the coal industry for approval and take safety measures.

Article 66 The supervisors and inspectors of the departments in charge of the coal industry and other relevant departments shall have the right to ask the coal mining enterprises or coal trading enterprises that violate the laws and regulations governing the coal industry to make rectification according to law.

Article 1 This Law is enacted with a view to rationally developing, utilizing and protecting the coal resources, standardizing the production and marketing of coal, and promoting and ensuring the development of the coal industry.

Article 55 Coal mining enterprises, coal trading enterprises, transport enterprises and customers shall supply, transport, and accept and unload coal according to law, the relevant regulations of the State Council or the agreement in contracts.

Article 13 The coal mining administrations are State owned coal mining enterprises each with the status of an independent legal entity.

Although the first four notices are not directly involved with coal industry, the target industry is directly related with coal industry.

It's a story passed on generation after generation.

We pass it down from generation to generation.

(3) to disrupt the order of coal mining areas, so that coal production and other work cannot be carried on normally or
