If that part is correct, it sounds a logical policy.

Coal is obviously a less-ideal energy source, but where it is mined is neither here nor there.
We have bigger problems anyway -- China and India -- (the former being the main imperialist colonising power right now) is going to...

Use a site like Check-a-Trade to find someone with reviews locally. There are a few of this type of site & they have to pay to join so keeping a good track record is important. Hopefully you will avoid the cowboys. Anyone who is really cheap should be avoided!

I guess that if the roof tiles used on your...
