The Coal Industry Ministry forecasts a decrease of coal extraction for 2009 by 16.27% or 8.300 million tons to 42.700 million tons in 2009, because of a reduction in demand as a result of the financial crisis.

Ruin,
therefore, is not caused by lavatories but it's something that starts in
people's heads. So when these clowns start shouting "Stop the ruin!" - I
laugh!' (Philip Philipovich's face became so distorted that the doctor's
mouth fell open.) 'I swear to you, I find it laughable! Every one of them
needs to hit himself on the back of the head and then when he has knocked
all the hallucinations out of himself and gets on with sweeping out
backyards - which is his real job - all this "ruin" will automatically
disappear.
