Call of the Wild Appear on BBC TV

Call of the Wild this week, 27th March 2007, appeared on BBC Wales' Current Affairs programme "Week In Week Out". The programme examined the current energy debate and looked at the contribution coal could make again to the UK's energy needs. Obviously this is a very topical debate at present given the Government's statements concerning the need for nuclear, the developent of renewables and our increasing reliance on overseas sources. Call of the Wild's contribution related to the potential environmental impact. If this can be managed then there is no reason why small operations couldn't start up.  However the concensus is that  the industry would first have to clean up its act. Aberthaw Power Station, the main market for Welsh mines, spews out between five and six million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.
