NZPol Gas terminal

@lightweight
Been thinking the same. Instead of nationally sovereign energy strategies that will pay back big time in generations ti come, they're pushing us more deeply into dependence for offshore profit's sake.

Let's make it an economic opportunity to 'escape forward' for NZ's and humanity's sake.

The lobbyists' pockets must be deep, I reckon.

I'm old enough to remember when tobacco companies were allowed to advertise cigarettes, anywhere there were lots of eyeballs (like in sports venues). Even though that was leading to more people smoking them, and getting sick. Needing more healthcare than they otherwise would have, and potentially drawing healthcare resources away from treating unavoidable illness.

Governments in many parts of the world fixed that problem, by banning the advertising of tobacco products.

I hope one day my grandchildren will tell a similar story about fossil fuel products. That governments around the world passed laws against carrying advertising for them. Then slowly expanded that ban to apply to businesses that totally depend on them. Like transport services that burn fossil fuels, or service stations that make most of their money selling them.

A remarkable article about a *real* conspiracy —

«Oil companies purchased solar and electric vehicle patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint.
The alleged conspiracy began after 1979…»

#Australia hits #power demand record as #renewables pass 50pc milestone.

Demand for power in Australia's biggest #electricitygrid reached a record high for the fourth quarter last year.

It came as #renewable #energy supplied more power than #fossilfuels across Australia for the first time in a three-month period. #auspol

Grid hits major milestone as coal, gas shrink amid ‘tripling’ battery discharge

Amid fits and starts, Australia's energy transition turned a big corner in 2025, as renewables shot past fossil fuels despite demand records.

‘Off the fossil fuel rollercoaster’: 10 countries pledge €9.5bn for North Sea wind projects.

At-sea wind farms will soon be connected to multiple countries across Europe, thanks to a landmark declaration.

It’s expected to create over 90 000 jobs and reduce power production costs by 30% in the next 15 years.

Australia exports massive amounts of gas, but the gas giants pay peanuts thanks to a broken Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) full of loopholes.
The govt collects MORE from students (HECS), nurses & teachers than from these super-profitable fossil fuel companies!
Fix the PRRT & make them pay their fair share – billions for public services & climate action!
