Overbearing?
OPINION: Dust ups between rural media and PR types aren't unheard of but also aren't common, given part of the job description of PR is to grease the wheels and ensure clients get good media coverage.
Their cunning plan is to cut net emissions 35% by 2030 and 47% by 2035, relative to 2020 levels.
NZ currently runs 99% of its transport on fossil fuels.
Forcing us into electric vehicles would overload the creaky power grid.
55% of power generation is hydro, 25% is fossil fuels, more when the lake levels are low as they were this year, which along with a gas shortage, forced up power prices, closing mills and factories.
Of course, the Green plan also includes knee-capping farming.
In short, their 'plan' is to drive NZ back to the dark ages, all in the name of lower emissions.
