THE COAL WASTERS
“If a commercially practicable method exists by which coal can he separated into its various constituents and the full value of each separately extracted, the public should, and no doubt in the course of time will, insist that such a method he compulsory, and that to burn coal in the present fashion is an offence against the State, punishable hy law as a criminal wasting of the nation’s chielf asset. When that time comes, our ships and locomotives will he burning pulverised carbon; we shall he explorers instead of importers of oil; our grates will he supplied with carbon briquettes; the mining industry will he as prosperous as ein the nineteenth century, and our trade will need no protective harriers against competition. Science has proved that coal can he so separated by low temperature carbonisation, and private enterprise has at last arrived at a process of separation which is '•ommercially practicable.” “The New Coal Ago.”
