Wow, this Gov't - esp Simon Watts - are so ridiculous in their insistence on gas rather than focusing on renewable electricity generation. This $ billion terminal they propose is a dead duck before it's even built. It's throwing good money after bad, digging the fossil fuel hole deeper rather than filling it in. Watts is also wrong that the terminal is faster to build than renewables. So dim and/or corrupt.

@lightweight JFC how much solar, wind and batteries could we get for $1B!?
@Salty a fair chunk, I'd say.
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.
@phlogiston yup. I wonder why the media doesn't speculate more about (or actually investigate?!) the integrity issues which seem to underlie most of this Gov't policy.
