How far do you plan on going?

steve....will you be able to burn coal in ten years time , the pope is on about global warming now.

amen....

I believe the arguments for man-made global warming, however if TSHTF and gas deliveries and electricity are gone I will burn my coal, whatever the Pope says. I'm not on mains gas, too remote, I burn wood and have a good store of it but it's a lot bulkier than coal. I imagine the local trees would soon disappear in a prolonged crisis, whereas coal can easily be hidden away.
