[Michael Gove has approved the
first new UK coal mine in 30 years despite
concern about its climate impacts
among Conservative MPs and experts.

up coking coal for steel production in the UK
across the world.
Critics say the mine would undermine
climate targets and demand for
coking coal is declining.]
[The mine would be near Whitehaven in Cumbria]
