Abstract
The article is devoted to solving one of the most relevant problems of the coal mining industry - its high resource use efficiency, which results in high environmental and economic costs of operating enterprises. It is shown that it is the high resource use efficiency of traditional, historically developed coal production systems that generates a conflict between indicators of economic efficiency and indicators of resistance to uncertainty and variability of market environment parameters. The traditional technological paradigm of exploitation of coal deposits also predetermines high, technology-driven, economic risks. The solution is shown and a real example of the problem solution is considered.

It is shown that it is the high resource use efficiency of traditional, historically developed coal production systems that generates a conflict between indicators of economic efficiency and indicators of resistance to uncertainty and variability of market environment parameters
The current development of the world economy is accompanied by ever-increasing demands for energy
An analysis of the underlying causal factors that limit the opportunities for increasing the efficiency of open coal mining enterprises developing steeply falling, inclined and gently sloping coal deposits using technology with the use of a deepen-longitudinal development system has revealed the following two main prerequisites, which are underlying principles in decision-making, both at the design stage, and in practical activities in mining operations during the exploitation of coal deposits
Summary
The current development of the world economy is accompanied by ever-increasing demands for energy. Since the middle of the XX century, when the share of coal in the fuel and energy balance of Russia reached 65%, it has been steadily declining and currently it is just only 12-13% Add to this the modern period is characterized by an intensive quest for solutions to create efficient power plants based on alternative hydrocarbon sources. According to the forecast of the famous futurist Ray Kurzweil, technical director of Google, by 2028 the “green” energy (sun, wind, water streams, geothermal sources) will become one of the key technologies for the development of all others. It will be approved as the dominant concept [1]
