That's a bit pedantic, fire up can have a number of meanings.
To set fire
Enthusiastic
Liven
Excited
Angry

Yeah, but Wayne meant it literally.

Let's "liven" coal mines. FFS - that's pedantic.

We don't have to agree with what Wayne said but we all knew what he meant.
To pull someone up on it is nit picking. If your intention was to disagree then you could've done better IMO.

Anyway enough of the tangents, let's get back on topic.

The coal mine is primarily to create fuel for steel making. Ignoring the fact that the two biggest steel manufacturers in the UK have said that by 2030 they'll be using less than 10% of that particular fuel in their processes.

So...

Given that it's a lame duck...

How long before the revelation that some tory peer / donor / wife's shell company is in line to make a few hundred million from it?

I'm significantly involved with massive imports from Australia, and I'll tell you unequivocally - it's not Coal.
