Kimmie inspects thermal plant, coal mine
Another missed opportunity ...
SEOUL, Aug. 18 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has inspected a thermal power plant and a coal mine and demanded efficient management of the facilities to maintain a stable supply of the country's electricity, the North's media reported Tuesday.

Kim gave "field guidance" to the Pukchang Thermal Power Complex and the Feb. 8 Jikdong Youth Coal Mine, both in South Pyongan Province, the North's Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) said. The report gave no date for the visits as usual. "The complex's position and role are very important as it takes a big portion in the nation's electricity output," Kim said after looking around the thermal power complex, according to KCNA.

The report also said that Kim underlined "the need to increase coal production at the relevant coal mines" to maintain power output at the thermal complex.
Arrest some more 'traitors', 'wreckers' and 'dissidents'! We need more miners!
