2020年6月,威尔士政府决定不再延长位于前南威尔士煤田西北边缘的南特海伦露天煤矿的运营许可证,引起了BBC威尔士等媒体的关注。这个故事作为新闻的重要性在于该公告与一百年前南威尔士作为世界上最大的出口煤田的地位之间的对比。然而,尽管煤炭作为一个产业几乎从许多“发达”世界的经济体中消失,但无论是从当地地理因素还是全球气候变化的角度考虑,煤炭及其遗产仍然对环境产生多层次的影响。煤炭开采具有固有的地理特殊性。矿井之所以位于特定的地方,正是因为那里有煤炭。在跨国资本主义时代,跨国公司能够关闭一个国家的工厂,然后在世界另一端重新开业,采矿业脱颖而出。采矿行为不仅与特定地点相关,而且不可避免地会对景观产生一系列变革性影响:从露天矿坑或弃土场对地形的物理重塑,到对空气和水的污染影响,再到为容纳采矿工人及其家庭而发展的城市住区。采矿业区别于许多其他行业的另一个特征是,它本质上是采掘性的,因此是穷举性的。
In June 2020, the Welsh Government’s decision not to extend the operating licence of the Nant Helen opencast coal mine, on the north-western periphery of the former South Wales coalfield, drew the attention of BBC Wales and other media organizations. The significance of this story as a news item lay in the contrast between that announcement and the position of South Wales a hundred years ago as the biggest exporting coalfield in the world. Nevertheless, even though as an industry it has all but disappeared from many of the economies of the ‘developed’world, coal and its legacy very much continue to exert a multi-level influence upon the environment, whether considered in terms of local geographical factors or global climate change.Coal mining has an inherent geographical specificity. Mines are located in a particular place precisely because that is where the coal is. In an era of transnational capitalism, in which multinational corporations are able to close factories in one country and reopen them on the other side of the world, mining stands out. Not only is it tied to specific locations, the very act of mining inevitably has a range of transformative effects upon the landscape: from the physical reshaping of the topography via opencast pits or spoil tips, to polluting effects upon the air and water, to the growth of urban settlements to accommodate the mining workforce and their families. A further characteristic aspect of mining, which distinguishes it from many other industries, is that it is intrinsically extractive and therefore exhaustive.
