NZ has so much hydropower already it would be straightforward to run the entire country on water, solar, windpower and EVs.

In 2023 a RW coalition govt came to power dominated by #AtlasNetwork trained David Seymour from the Atlas founded ACT party. Big gas getting this payoff for Atlas support.

The case for banning fossil fuel donations In the grand scheme of things, itโ€™s not much money. This is part of what makes it so sad. The countryโ€™s politicians have sold out the climate for little more than a rounding error on projects that wil...

โ€œdonations from fossil fuel companies should be bannedโ€ฆThe decisions that flow from these donations are monstrous. They serve no interest but profit. They will destroy the world through disease and famine and natural disasters.โ€

Calls for more detail on coal mine water releases into reef catchment There were 55 water releases from the region's coal mines in the month of January into the largest catchment draining to the Great Barrier Reef.

Over 2 dozen coal mines made 55 water releases during flooding in January 2026, into Queensland's >140,000 sq km Fitzroy Basin that drains to the Great Barrier Reef

Not clear how much coal mine water was released in total, nor the type &/ amount of chemicals contained in the releases
