August 29, 2005 - Shanxi, China: A red light district with prostitutes near coal mining centers. The Shanxi province is located 600 kilometers west of Beijing. China is the world's largest producer and consumer of coal. In 2003, the Chinese government started controlling illegal mining operation as they did not paid taxes and did not report accidents. The mines work non stop and the miners take turns working 8-hour shifts. Working for 10 months allows them to buy a house in the countryside. The miners health deteriorates after the age of 40 with lung problems. Some of the miners are criminals.

Russia has been systematically targeting Ukraine's energy system since the start of the full-scale war, leading to regularly scheduled blackouts and frequent emergency power cuts.

Eraring lifeline a mixed blessing for a coal community in limbo
The NSW government's decision to extend the 40-year-old power station for another two years has some locals breathing a sigh of relief - but others are ready for a post-coal future.
Eraring, which supplies one-fifth of NSW's electricity, is now obliged to generate half that share - or 6 terawatt-hours a year - until August 2027. It may then run for another 20 months but without state support.
Belinda Giblin, lead organiser for the Collieries' Staff and Officials Association who came together with Electrical Trades Union and Australian Manufacturing Workers Union to launch a campaign after Origin Energy, the owner of Eraring Power Station refused to negotiate a new contract with coal mine owners Centennial on viable terms.

'Energy war': Ukraine tries to protect electricity supply before winter
It seems likely Russia will target the grid with its missiles again, but engineers say they are better prepared now.
Over spring and summer Ukraine's largest private electricity company, DTEK gradually restored energy capacity. Before 2022 this stood at 6,000MW. It fell to 3,000MW after Russia seized two of the firm’s thermal power plants - one in eastern Luhansk province - and bombed others. It is now back up to more than 4,000MW. Remarkably, DTEK has opened a new windfarm in the south of the country, boosting power by a further 114MW.
Nine million Ukrainian homes that lost electricity have got it back again. In the Kyiv region alone DTEK brigades have repaired nearly 10,000km (6,000 miles) of power lines, brought down during six weeks of occupation.
It seems likely, however, that Moscow will launch a second missile campaign this winter, designed to cripple Ukraine's energy grid again. Last Wednesday Ukrenergo, the state-owned electricity transmission system operator, said "enemy shelling" damaged a thermal power plant. More strikes are expected, after a summer in which Russia targeted Ukraine's grain export facilities.
This time round however, Danyliuk, a power distribution expert with 25 years' experience, is optimistic. "In 2022 we had to improvise. Now we are better prepared," he said.
The building resembles a roadside bomb shelter. Inside, behind thick concrete walls, is a bank of circuit breakers. They give off a low hum. Vulnerable cables have been buried underground. The mini-complex was shrapnel-proof, Danyliuk said. "Of course, if they drop a bomb precisely on the roof it will trash everything. But generally we can fix damage in two days."

It seems likely Russia will target the grid with its missiles again, but engineers say they are better prepared now.
Over spring and summer Ukraine's largest private electricity company, DTEK gradually restored energy capacity. Before 2022 this stood at 6,000MW. It fell to 3,000MW after Russia seized two of the firm’s thermal power plants - one in eastern Luhansk province - and bombed others. It is now back up to more than 4,000MW. Remarkably, DTEK has opened a new windfarm in the south of the country, boosting power by a further 114MW.
Nine million Ukrainian homes that lost electricity have got it back again. In the Kyiv region alone DTEK brigades have repaired nearly 10,000km (6,000 miles) of power lines, brought down during six weeks of occupation.
It seems likely, however, that Moscow will launch a second missile campaign this winter, designed to cripple Ukraine's energy grid again. Last Wednesday Ukrenergo, the state-owned electricity transmission system operator, said "enemy shelling" damaged a thermal power plant. More strikes are expected, after a summer in which Russia targeted Ukraine's grain export facilities.
This time round however, Danyliuk, a power distribution expert with 25 years' experience, is optimistic. "In 2022 we had to improvise. Now we are better prepared," he said.
The building resembles a roadside bomb shelter. Inside, behind thick concrete walls, is a bank of circuit breakers. They give off a low hum. Vulnerable cables have been buried underground. The mini-complex was shrapnel-proof, Danyliuk said. "Of course, if they drop a bomb precisely on the roof it will trash everything. But generally we can fix damage in two days."

'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."
