Conflict in Iran shows 'risk' of government's plan to import LNG as back-up to Taranaki facility Energy experts say an immediate leap in prices after US-Israeli strikes on Iran should prompt a re-think of the government's push to build an LNG import terminal.

BREAKING
It’s been revealed that the Luxon government ‘kicked the tyres’ on game-changing solar subsidies to cut power bills but decided to let us keep paying rising prices - and then to make it even worse with costly gas imports:
www.rnz.co.nz/news/top/588...

Oil & Gas are about to get a lot more expensive.

That will increase the price of just about everything else that has to be transported.

It will be a painful reminder of how badly we need to get free of fossil fuel dependency and embrace renewable energy.

🚨 This morning, around twenty Greenpeace France activists blocked the cargo ship Mikhaïl Dudin, arriving from St Petersburg at the port of Dunkirk, to denounce the nuclear trade between Russia and France.

NVIDIA, you made USD 215.9 billion selling the chips that run Big Tech’s AI empires.

With all that power and profits, how come the AI supply chain you fuel is still running on dirty energy?

Not that I know of.

Billionaires profit from war.

Why is there always enough money for war, but never enough to feed everyone and tackle the climate crisis?

Instead of making NZ more dependent on fossil fuels tied to war zones where Russia, the US and Israel routinely start bombing people, we could embrace renewable energy and be self-sufficient with lower electricity prices ☀️👇

Military strikes on Iran by the US and Israel will only deepen suffering and risk spiralling violence.

Civilians and the climate must not pay the price for political power plays.

All parties must de-escalate and choose diplomacy.

Judge finalises US$575 million judgement against Greenpeace in pipeline case Greenpeace in a statement said it would seek a new trial in a lawsuit pursued by pipeline company Energy Transfer.

BREAKING:
A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay them US$345 million.

This is a billionaire-backed attack on the right to protest.

Greenpeace stands for all of us.

Luxon's LNG fossil gas import terminal is THE most stupid thing a govt could do in the #climatecrisis (besides trying to restart oil & gas exploration).

They'll fail at exploration.

It's REALLY important that we speak up to stop new fossil gas imports👇

Judge orders Greenpeace to pay $345m over Dakota Access pipeline protest Group says case far from over after being found liable for defamation and other claims brought by energy firm

Greenpeace has said the lawsuit is meant to use the courts to silence activists and critics and chill first amendment rights.

“There are many possible legal grounds for appeal – including a lack of evidence to support key findings and valid concerns about the possibility of ensuring fairness…”

A North Dakota judge has said he will order Greenpeace to pay damages expected to total $345m in connection with protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline from nearly a decade ago.

Soon we find out whether he follows through.
