Hello and welcome to CPB Evening News.
Todays head story: the Carentanian Steel and Copper WO. closes down the last coal mine in the Škrip area. The mine that used to supply both the capital area and the city of Cazma with coal for heating and their power plants was officially declared exhausted. Two other mines in the Škrip area experienced the same fate in 2001 and 2007. Back then, experts of the Carentanian Steel and Copper WO. already anticipated the exhaustion of the mine for this year. This marks the end of the coal mining industry in Škrip and many Carentanians see it as a powerful sign for the general trend towards the complete exhaustion of natural ressources in Carentania.
The coalminers in Škrip meanwhile will be forced to either move to an active mining location or seek a new profession. In the Workers Councils of Škrip, everyone is prepared for the 250 comrades in need of a new education. A proposal by the Commissariate for Economic Planning to exclude those above the age of 55 from the need to re-educate or seek a residence in an active mining location has been commonly accepted by the involved councils as well as the Carentanian Steel and Copper WO. Those workers who reached this proud age will be presented with the option of early retirement.
Meanwhile the Commissar for Economic Planning assured the public that there is no imminent coal shortage. According to him, Carentania has created enough capacities in alternative energy solutions that the reduces production in coal will have no effect on the life of the Carentanian citizen. However, he used this opportunity to again stress the importance of a broad debate about the future of Carentanias industry, as more and more deposits within Carentania approach exhaustion.
In other news we will hear about a general decline of violent crime over the past half year, a growing shrimp fishing industry and the trial of the "Nokanawa Four" in Oikawa...
