CONGRESS warned yesterday that clean coal technology must provide a "substantial contribu-tion" to electricity generation if emission targets are to be met.
ASLEF delegate Kevin Lindsay said that the British coal industry had suffered enormous decline in the 20 years since the miners' strike.
"Other countries are expanding and developing their coalfields and we're closing them - it's the economics of the madhouse."
NUM Scotland delegate Barry Menzies said: "We now have the opportunity to replace our aging power stations with new ones incorporating clean coal technology and biomass - it only requires the political commitment."
