climate policy that the government will put off the existing levy on emitters and set up fund with as much as $2.6 billion to subsidize the mining enterprises in cutting green-house gas emissions (Anderson, Scott 2014). The subsidy released the financial burden of carbon tax which cost BHP $77.5 million in 2013 (Financial Review 2014) as an enabler in mining industry (Conrad 1993). In addition, the federal government’s effort to place infrastructure improvements at the centre of growth agenda

The demand influencing the rapid use coal as the source of energy, during the industrial revolution has created a huge demand for more coal to be extracted. Coal is a form of fossil fuel produced through the compression and decomposition of vegetation, for over many years. This essay will discuss the environmental issues resulting from coal mining. However, it will first elaborate on what is mining and the various methods of mining coal

Executive Summary Safety is a vital aspect of every underground mining activity. The Pike River tragedy was caused by human negligence from the management’s side. The employees were exposed to high volumes of toxic gases that risked their lives. A combination of factors led to the fatal tragedy that killed 29 employees and left two critically injured. The greatest failure emanated from the managers since their project development skills were weak. The hiring of unskilled miners affected the entire
