Of course our #NZPol coalition of fossil fuel dependents will try and make you believe that NZ’s biggest threat is our largest trading partner and world leader in renewable energy technology and development. The reality most of us can see is NZ’s biggest threat is the the war mongering oil merchants holding the world to ransom as a result of their pedo president being held hostage by the Agent #Epstein files.
Obviously NZ’s transformation to energy independence and clean generation will take time to happen so is not an immediate solution to the current pickle the pedo president has unleashed on the world so providing free public transport is something we can do immediately and then making investment into further electrification of our PT and vehicles a priority.
I know, like myself, you’re a Green supporter so not telling you anything you don’t already know but it’s amazing to see how this latest global fiasco as a result of USA’s dumbest war to date, and they’ve started plenty of dumb and illegal wars, has forced Europe, Asia and the global south to recognise the insecurity of relying on fossil fuels as a primary energy source.
Firstly I hope the world hasn’t been destroyed by nuclear war before 7 Nov 2026 and secondly the NZ Greens take this crisis as an opportunity to capitalise on NZers desperate need for energy security and independence. If NZ can be convinced to vote enough Green MPs into government NZ will have the chance to make the ideal a reality. Step 1 instead of investing the current govt’s proposed $12B in to US weapons of war instead invest that money into domestic renewable generation and see an immediate transformation of energy efficiency.
Below is NZ’s Ecotiricity’s video shot in Shenzhen, China a few months ago highlighting the amazing transformation in renewable technology and its affects on the city.
