An offering to the Gods

They will warm the planet but not your home?

If I have correctly identified them as the lignite briquettes then I have an interesting story to tell:

I happened to be sitting by this chap on a flight to Wellington who informed me that he was an engineer assisting with the construction of the pilot lignite plant. He informed me that only a couple exist elsewhere in the world and the one that Solid Energy visited to see how it functioned had to be recommissioned after being shut down. He also told me he didn't want anything to do with the plant once it was completed because of the threat of explosions. Apparently the process is very unsafe and he didn't trust the technology.

I notice mr BS that whilst he wanted nothing to do with the plant once finished, he is obviously very happy to take the money whilst building it, yep, a man with great moral backbone.

Maybe you should start requesting better seats

I wonder what the journalists at The Southlad Times would make of that story, bsprout?
It's the kind of thing that could upset the relationship Solid Energy might hope to have with the public.

Well if the Tui sign along the Southern (Auckland ) motorway is to be believed, the offering is to the Destiny Church.

Thousands have long-held it was "Harold".

One of the great things about living in Southland is that it's not a preferred region for the church of Brian. We barely ever hear of his hoha.

I always prefered the 'other' Brian, you know the one...
