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, itโs not much money. This is part of what makes it so sad. The countryโs politicians have sold out the climate for little more than a rounding error on projects that wil...
โdonations from fossil fuel companies should be bannedโฆThe 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

Walk into any Coles outlet today and youโre not just buying milk. Youโre feeding a surveillance machine processing 10 billion rows of data through Peter Thielโs Palantir Technologโฆ

They donโt recognise dignity, compassion, or burnout.They calculate your โmaximum output per paid hourโ then pursue it relentlessly.

Australia urged to release "terrifying" climate security analysis after UK report flags ecosystem collapse by 2030
The Australian government has been urged to come clean on security threats posed by climate change following the release of a troubling UK assessment.
โreasonable worst-case scenarioโ of ecosystem collapseโ by 2030
#climatechange #nature #food #war
Itโs a worldwide thing. We can extrapolate.

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
