NZ lining itself up to be left holding the bag for the North American methane export industry, all so a bunch of giant industrial polluters here don’t have to deal with the decline of NZ’s offshore gas fields which nobody in govt or industry strategically planned for, despite decades of warning.

Some governments raise taxes to fund public health and education. Not Luxon. He is literally raising taxes to subsidise fossil fuels. He is putting a levy on our electricity bills to pay for his LNG import terminal.

The current government could be launched into the sun. That would give us .0000000000000000000000000000000001 of a second of solar energy that we could be capturing with solar.

If you are talking about increasing the cost of electricity, and not investing in distributed, resilient solar and battery capacity, nor electrification of transport in multi modes, you don’t understand the problem and should not be anywhere near power (pun absofuckinglutely intended)

$?????? millions on a liquefied natural gas terminal that cuts against the actual economics of natural gas instead of just paying for everyone to switch to fucking electricity is probably peak Luxonism. Bad economics, bad infrastructure, bad decision.

If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.

Nothing winds me up more than Luxon and assorted other suits saying we need to be wealthier before we can afford doctors, nurses, water we can swim in etc. Meanwhile wealthier kiwi households have stacked up huge piles of savings (cash, shares, equity etc). The economy works for the few. [🧵 1/n]
