Disadvantages are: There is a high capital cost for equipment, though probably not as high as first appears when compared to the number of continuous miner units which would be required to produce the same output. Operations are very concentrated ("all eggs in one basket")

Common health threats posed by coal mining: Pneumoconiosis, aka black lung disease or CWP, is caused when miners breathe in coal dust and carbon, which harden the lungs. Estimates show that 1,200 people in the US still die from black lung disease annually. The situation in developing countries is even worse.

Disadvantages : Costs more harder to do than surface mining takes a lot of time. What's a disadvantage with subsurface mining? Although there are opponents and proponents of underground mining the disadvantages include destruction of land surface subsidence abandoned shafts extensive surface spoil heaps mine explosions collapses and flooding.

Underground coal mine explosions pose a significant threat to infrastructure such as mine seals and refuge alternative chambers. After a mine seal failed in the Sago mine disaster, which took the life of 12 miners, design requirements were reexamined and improved. However, most research being completed on the analysis of mine structures during

· If miners were critical of the hard coal industry, they might feel a dissonance between what they do and what they think. Inconsistency leads to disharmony which people strive to avoid or reduce. People are known to change their opinions, not their behavior ( .

· Underground coal mining often causes subsidence, goaf landslides, fissures, and even hazard chains, seriously damaging the ecological environment. To address the ecological vulnerability of mining areas is key to exploring the development characteristics and failure mechanisms of surface multihazards.

With coal mining, there is also a huge devastation of the environment around the mines. 5. There is a high cost requirement when it comes to coal transportation to central power plants. 6. Ash from coal is a disposal and a hazard problem. 7. Mining of coal is considered as the second biggest methane emitter, which is a strong greenhouse gas. 8.

· 1. Bad For The Environment Strip mining can have unwanted effects on the natural ecosystem of the area where the mining is taking place. Plant and animal life is often killed off, taking years to regenerate. In addition to the death of plants and animals, the land also experiences increased susceptibility to erosion and flooding. 2.

· "Not because it ran out of coal, but it just became too expensive, and they also had the alternatives. "Coal was the driver of its economy, but it transitioned away from it." He said Australia could follow suit, with the alternatives in solar and wind energy. Grant Howard works in a coal mine — but is also concerned about climate change.

Coal mining has a longterm deteriorating impact on the environment. Land is extensively damaged during excavation of coal, and it has to be reclaimed, staying derelict for many years. In especially opencut mining of coal, the landscape is often transformed into a massive quarry (Higginbotham and Connor, 2005 ).

With greater depth, increased pressure closes fractures (cleats) in the coal, which reduces perme ability and the ability of the gas to move through and out of the coal. Exploration costs for coalbed methane are low, and the wells are cost effective to drill.

The most glaring dissimilarity between the two is one is a renewable resource (wind) and the other is nonrenewable (coal). Wind is classified as a renewable resource because wind is a naturally occurring process that is unlimited and it requires no time to replenish itself.

The main disadvantages of shortwalls compared to longwalls are: The width of the unsupported roof ahead of the chocks is governed by the width of a continuous miner as opposed to a shearer drum. Personnel have to work adjacent to the face which presents safety issues unless rib support is installed which would greatly slow production.

The coal industry takes the issue of safety very seriously; modern coal mines have rigorous safety procedures, health and safety standards and worker eduion and training.

#11 Loss Of Wildlife Coal mining requires a large expanse of territory. When a mining operation moves in, it invades and destroys sizable ranges of wilderness area, displacing the native fauna and removing habitat and food sources. This eventually results in an imbalanced ecosystem and even the endangerment or extinction of entire species.

A secondary byproduct of mining coal is the emission of greenhouse and other gasses which pollute the air. The most widely known type of air pollution from a fossil fuel such as coal is caused by the combustion of the fuel. Not many know that by simply creating openings in the ground exposes the coal and allows it to offgas.

· In surface mining, large machines remove the topsoil and layers of rock known as overburden to expose coal seams. Mountaintop removal is a form of surface mining where the tops of mountains are dynamited and removed to access coal seams. Once the coal is removed, the disturbed area may be covered with topsoil for planting grass and trees.
