-As power supplies tighten during the winter heating period, many provinces in China are rationing electricity to cope with shortages of coal.
Though statistics show that domestic coal output is sufficient for national demand, many mining sectors are still finding it hard to keepレンタルサーバー up, a problem caused mainly by poor transportation, according to China News Service (CNS).
Mr. Li, who lives in Tai'an, Shandong Province, took advantage of good local resources and made a living by trading coal for most of his life. He owned a 300,000-yuan truck and hired two drivers to transport coal to cities in Shandong and neighboring provinces like Henan and Hebei.
But due to increasing insecurity in the coal industry, Li sold the truck and got out of the trade this year, shifting his focus to farming instead.
Coal urgently needed
Rich in coal resources, Xinwen of Tai'an is TOEICcrowded with trucks every year from October to March, the high season for coal demand, according to CNS.
Although Xinwen usually begins mining coal before October to build up reserves, a rapidly expanding economy ensures that stocks are often quickly depleted.
"Many times I have waited in front of a mine for a whole day," said Li, who used to make a round trip in two days and pocketed a gross profit of 5,000 to 6,000 yuan.
Yet sometimes coal is in short supply, forcing workers like Li to wait for nearly a month, resulting in losses of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan in income.
"To make up for the losses, we would overload the truck. Otherwise, we couldn't make any profit at all, because drivers were asking for テレビ会議システムhigher salaries," explained Li, who mainly supplied small factories.
"The coal I provided was not even enough for a small factory," noted Li, "largely because many companies don't have enough space to store up surplus coal. Besides, coal consumption in summer is growing now. Miners are running down ウォーターサーバーreserves much more quickly than before."
