I would actually live in a cave. I love caves and mines. I must be a son of Hades, because I have a yearning to commune with him in the underworld.

>The management of the facility stressed, however, that “no nuclear power plant in the world is built to withstand full-scale fire impact by an armed force.”

Just more reason to rely on coal. War is inevitable. There will be great wars in the future just as there have been in the past. It is human nature. We will even have nuclear wars as the centuries march on because humans cannot control themselves when war mentality and mob psychology set in.
So why have nuclear plants when they will explode and irradiate whole areas and ecosystems?
If a coal plant gets struck in war, you lose some coal and have a powerful explosion, but you don't end up with an irradiated landscape.

>We've seen the worst and now it's time for some good times
Indeed. I am even optimistic for coal in the U.S. despite these hard times.
Coal just needs to climb the hump, i.e. survive this decade, which is the hump. It's the fiery era of green activism but which is fizzling out slowly. Whatever coal-fired plants remain, I think, by 2030 will be allowed to operate indefinitely because, I believe, they will be seen as necessary infrastructure.
Already the UK is reinvesting in its coal sector, albeit with baby steps. People will see the writing on the wall -- Europe will see it first, since their energy situation is fucked, but the USA will get there -- and people will realize we need coal in our fuel mixture.
So if we can get through this dark night of coal, we can live to see a new dawn.

Yep, it is what it is. My company is considering me for upper management in the future. I won't have any authority to affect retirement ages, but I think that having at least a few c-suite types who came up from the bottom would be a good idea for any heavy industry company.

Nice salt mine pic. Salt mines are very aesthetic.
Still, I prefer the look of a nice coal mine.
