Choke! Choke!

What do you make of this Southland?





"Solid Energy had previously advised it would withdraw from supplying coal to the household market by the beginning of 2013, in line with the National Environmental Standards for air quality, which recognise that burning solid fuel in open fires and older domestic burners causes significant air quality and health issues in many of our towns and cities. The Government has recently announced that it will review the timing for the implementation of the standards. As a result, Solid Energy may alter its deadline for completing its withdrawal from the household market to be consistent with the outcome of that review and to continue our support for local communities who have limited other options for secure affordable home heating." (Emphasis mine)
