This is incredibly macabre news. The original reports were wrong. It has been confirmed now that only one miner is alive, the other 12 are dead. There seems to have been quite a few underlying problems, with this mine and the industry as a whole that caused this incident.

The greater tragedy is that we still rely on an incredibly dirty fossil fuel to power our lives, when nuclear is both safer and renewable if used properly.

You can find all my reasons for preferring nuclear, as well as commentary about the Chinese coal situation (6500 deaths per year) at http://earthsentinel.com where you will also find peak oil, renewable energy, and climate change news.
