That farmer could be grown food to feed New Zealand on the small bit of verge that homeless person is taking up!

Why cant they go to the cities and sleep in store doorways!!! Oh wait...

The state spent big on infra for these companies before the sell off, to make it a nice sweet deal they could exploit for a decade

All except Firstgas & Brookfield Asset Management who stand to make billions from this heap of steaming crap

'The nation is dealing with high unemployment - with levels not seen for a decade outside the Covid-19 pandemic - and wage growth has failed to keep up with inflation'

They specifically excluded renewable power when looking at the LNG terminal because it would hurt profits

Easy to be smug about having an EV .. But almost everything in this world is fossil powered so we'll all be paying for this

Shipping (its 50% fossil fuels!), trucks, farming, manufacturing etc etc

Yeah looks fun

China added 315GW of new solar in 2025

NZ's entire grid is 9GW

Two articles highlighted on the RNZ front page. The first about one of the world's largest gas exporters turning off the tap. The second about our lagging solar energy uptake, with documents revealing the government shelved a subsidy.

Government incompetence writ large on the RNZ front page today. #nzpol

China’s latest energy data offers a signal worth paying attention to. In 2025, emissions from energy and industry fell by 0.3%, modest, but notable, even as total energy consumption rose by 3.5%.

The key driver? A continued surge in solar power capacity.

A great demo of Luxon's lack of resilience to basic testing of his ideas, and the fragility of his airport CEO/airport bookstore "leadership" style: when he says "zooming out" you're meant to understand he's a Big Picture Thinker and be dazzled by his Helicopter View, not ask about actual details!

Sorry was zoning out

Wait that

But we've decided not to have disaster events Lauren! So no need to bother!

Government ‘kicked the tyres’ on solar subsidies but went with ‘minor’ tweaks instead It is one of the cheapest ways to cut power bills - yet documents reveal the government shelved a subsidy.

New Zealand has more sunshine than Germany.
But only 1 in 35 homes here has rooftop solar.
Australia? 1 in 3.

That range seems a bit optimistic for a 15 year old Nissan Leaf.
Mind you, it's had BBS (Battery Bypass Surgery) about six years ago...
Would like to drain it completely flat to see what its range REALLY is. Lots of learning in store with this car. Should be fun!

You won't be laughing with your cheap to run EV after a couple of years when the battery.. wait what
