As you know, Acting Chairman, I am always brief in these situations. We are running out of options as far as solid fuel is concerned. I was one of the people who changed over my entire heating system to eliminate coal and turf some years ago. I moved to wood. Am in now in a position where I have to remove wood as well? This will affect a lot of people throughout the country who see dry wood as a means of heating their homes. Many people cannot afford more modern methods.
