Coal is the filthiest and most polluting form of energy, and the most dangerous to extract. I recall my Welsh grandfather boasting that none of his sons had "gone down the pit". Yet coal continues to exert a mesmeric hold on the world's imagination, especially on the left. Labour supported Arthur Scargill's determination to keep pits open. The party prevented Tony Blair from...

Blue and Green: More than 200 coal miners have died at a site in Soma, West Turkey, with hundreds of people still trapped underground, following the explosion of a power distribution unit. Turkey is facing its worst mining disaster and declared three days of national mourning, after hundreds of workers died in a coal mine explosion on Tuesday, caused by a power failure. Around 750 people were in the private-owned mine in Soma when a power distribution unit exploded and caused a power cut, which made it impossible...
