Well, we have so much untapped potential power available. Why not a series of barges with underwater propellers on the mighty Waikato river? Also Manukau heads, Kaipara harbor, other tidal inlets around the country? They are doing it in Scotland as we speak. There are also huge thermal underground resources in central North Island still going unutilized. Come on government, let's do this, let's solve the issues rather than blaming the system or a previous administration. Get onto it now.
Yes they're doing it in Scotland and it's complete bollocks, it's a "we're 'saving' the planet" bs. They cut down millions of trees to do the same thing and energy prices have gone up through the roof, expect the same to happen here.
Long story short, NZ industry has been told to shut down and the government has not offered any solution at all. The only idea so far is the tired suggestion of price caps, as if that would somehow increase supply.
Green policy wanted 25%less livestock. Less private landlords. More tax. Less police powers. Seems to me like a newish battle of the light and darkness. Production verses conservation .It will become a battle of ideologies. I'm eating Peruvian scallops. Canadian pork Australian watermelon. Chinese jam Dutch condensed milk.

Why are 40000 people claiming li KS to criminal gangs. It's hard to predict the future. Climate politics vs sustainable economy politics.
And what did Key do for 9 years? Nothing, this situation has been building for the last 20 years years. National and Labour contributed to this situation, doing the tribal blame game doesn't help. NZ doesn't do infrastructure well, because governments work on the 3 year election cycle. That's why the Cook Strait ferries will no longer be able to handle rail, which it has been since 1961.
There is no power crisis. Plenty of rain and wind right now and forecast this spring for renewable generation. The CEO of Meridian Energy is right on this subject. Once Methanex exit NZ, we'll have plenty of gas as well.
Possible solution is for everyone with the financial means to cover their roofs with solar and give a big middle finger to the power companies; if enough people take the solar route then this may create a surplus of power just like there is in Australia where solar is a popular alternative "The installed PV capacity in Australia increased 10-fold between 2009 and 2011, and quadrupled between 2011 and 2016."
NZ imports 46million barrels of oil per year for the energy sector NZ’s allies have been cut off from oil by the worlds largest supplier. = Energy crisis.
We are at the bottom of the peaking order, other countries will look after their own before they supply us AI and EV, demand is backordered way back NZ solution = Train and make do with what we’ve got We may even get a few EV buses and trucks for essential services Tighten riggght arrrp it’s already happening.
If PM bends over, shows builder's crack, spreads the checks, there'll be enough solar energy never to need a nuclear power station. Mike can do the honour of downtrouwing the PM. The unveiling of Think Big Mk 2.
I can hear Shane Jones saying #IToldyou ...
He cannot. He's now the government.

six years of Liebour and Green's incompetence now coming home to roost.
Nothing to do with Labour and the Greens, it is the result of 38 years of addiction to 'for profit at least cost' neoliberal economics and governance.
Thanks to Winston Peters, funny that.

We need the full story on everything Mike... Everything.
Yep! To many decades of no investment into infrastructure! Polies to worries about seeing there three year term out!

And they want you to buy an electric car.YEAH RIGHT!
“What’s the plan” is in fact the most critical question New Zealand faces.
There is no plan. For anything.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
The common thread is government ineptitude, who owns 51% of shares in most generation companies?
This should also include the LPG suppliers and sellers, bit too much cosiness appears to be going on.....
Ardern's legacy coming back to bite.

Why all of a sudden did this appear
it is the results of National's Max bradform reforms for power generation in 1998.
subsidise domestic sola install ?

And this government scrapped Lake Onslow.
That was years away you Muppet
And was going to cost 15 BILLION $, plus normal increases. Insane money and now proven to be not that effective when water is scarce (like now).
@@Motumatai3 Bollocks. Load of rubbish. You are a waste of time. I'm not going to explain it to you.
@@Motumatai3 only 5 times more than the money they gave to property speculators. Plus it was an investment in our future.
