...business of its customers when conditions change to those of a buyer's market. The Massey Energy Upper Branch Mine Disaster in West Virginia operated by the Performance Coal Company had repeated problems with methane buildups. Since April 2009, federal regulators have cited the mine eight times for “substantial” violations relating to the mine’s methane control plans. In two instances, the regulators found the mine operator was calibrating methane monitors every three months even though it is supposed to be done every 31 days. The delays in attending to the monitors meant they could not properly detect the gas; a risk inspectors said could lead to severe injuries or prove fatal. On April 30, 2009, federal regulators found that the mine had failed to follow methane-related safety precautions. Regulators stopped work in a section of the mine until the ventilation was corrected. It appears that many people (including the regulators who issued the safety citations) knew all about these safety violations but they were covered up from the miners who bore all the risks. While the cause of this specific explosion is still being determined, most mine explosions are caused by the combustion of accumulations of methane, combined with combustible coal dust mixed with air. Methane naturally occurs in coal seams,...

Being aware of its head start on other countries, Britain forbade the export of machinery, skilled workers and manufacturing techniques. This could not last, as many Britons saw profitable industrial opportunities abroad and continental European businessmen were keen to lure British know-how to their countries. Belgium became the first country in continental Europe to be transformed economically, having machine shops set up in Liège (c.1807) by two Englishmen, William and John Cockerill. Like Britain, the Belgian Industrial Revolution centred on iron, coal and textiles. The industrialization of France was slower and less thorough than that of Britain and Belgium. At the time that Britain was establishing her industrial leadership, France was immersed in...
