'We need the jobs': Cumbrians divided over new coalmine
Despite positivity in Whitehaven, near the former Marchon chemical plant, proposals still cause worry.
Most people in the town are in favour of the mine. They have been waiting for the news of the go ahead for what seems a long time, people repeatedly said.
But there are dissenting voices. "It's not right," said Margaret Telford, a retired shop worker. "Every family round here has lost a lot of people to mining and apart from that, it’s not good for the world, is it?"
Even people who have lost relatives to mining said they wanted the government to give the go ahead.
Jean Brayton, 80, is on her way to her karate class and is very much in favour of the mine. "My dad worked down the pit. I lost two uncles. It has always been a mining place. But we need to be self-sufficient."

Laboratory to study dark matter opens 1km under Australian town - with no bananas allowed
From deep inside a gold mine in Stawell, Victoria, researchers are hunting for the invisible substance thought to make up 85% of the matter in the universe.
The Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL), where researchers will hunt for dark matter, the invisible substance thought to comprise about 85% of the matter in the universe.
The lab is officially open, and Guardian Australia recently visited with Prof Elisabetta Barberio, the director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics.

'The part of Cornwall nobody ever sees': the hi-tech future for lithium and tin mining
In the second part of our Electric dreams series looking at the UK's automotive battery industry, we visit an area whose industrial past is being revitalised.
An overgrown quarry in a quiet part of Cornwall is a good place to contemplate Britain's industrial past. It is here that miners used steam power, explosives and their own hands to dig out china clay for ceramics. The industry helped to fuel the Industrial Revolution and briefly made Redruth one of the richest places in the UK.
The quarry is also a pretty good place to contemplate Britain's industrial future. Cornish Lithium, a UK startup, is one of a clutch of businesses hoping to revive British mining amid a global scramble for the battery minerals that are crucial for the transition away from fossil fuels.
The shift to electric cars is upending the automotive industry. It has also set off a scramble for the minerals that will be used in every vehicle.
