Claims the West Coast has 1000 years worth of coal left to mine have been debunked.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has said 96 years is a more realistic figure for the amount of coal left on the Coast.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has said 96 years is a more realistic figure for the amount of coal left on the Coast.
The West Coast has about 664.1 million tonnes of coal resources and reserves left, but not all of the coal could realistically be recovered.
Coal Action Network Aotearoa Cindy Baxter said there were plenty of alternatives to coal for the dairy industry and steel production.
"The West Coast is already seeing very real impacts of climate change, which is costing jobs, causing slips, causing dumps to be scattered all over our coastlines," she said.

“The staff are absolutely amazing,” explains Glenda. “They go out of their way to speak to you, to make sure you’re ok.”
Hoko and Glenda feel very fortunate for the support they received when Hoko experienced some health issues. It wasn’t just the village staff who provided support, the whole community rallied around them.
“When I got sick the community itself looked after me,” Hoko explains.
“I can’t speak highly enough of the staff here,” Glenda says.

Toxicology testing of dead rats washed up on a West Coast shows no presence of 1080, the Department of Conservation (DOC) says.

Locals and DOC staff picked up almost 700 rats as well as dead Westland petrels, weka, octopus, starfish, a goat, crabs, crayfish and skate fish after they washed up on Westport's North Beach on November.
DOC initially presumed the rats died from a recent aerial 1080 drop near the Lewis Pass and washed down rivers with the help of the more than 500 millimetres of rain that had fallen in the region.
"We don't know the source of the dead rats but it's possible they came from beech forest areas closer to Westport in the Buller Gorge, affected by flood conditions," DOC West Coast operations director Mark Davies says.
