Port's hurry to deliver 'black gold'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7229443.stm

Throughout the night, workers at China's largest coal port are busy loading waiting ships with thousands of tons of "black gold".

These vessels mostly deliver their precious cargo to ports all along China's south-eastern coastline.

Qinhuangdao is now working overtime to supply southern areas that are experiencing their worst winter weather in more than 50 years.

...

"On Monday we worked day and night to ship 250,000 tons of coal. It gave me a very good feeling," he said from the end of a wharf that juts far out into the icy sea.


Yeah, warm fuzzies all round. :(
