	Primary fuels such as these can be obtained from the ground using several different [[mining ~~techniques~~]]. While coal is [[coal mining\|mined]] more "traditionally" using strip mines or deep mines, certain sources of natural gas such as [[shale gas]] or [[tight gas]] are obtained by [[hydraulic fracturing\|fracturing]] large stones with poor [[permeability]].
