This would be the week to drive an EV.

The Luxon government took the opposite direction and banked on fossil fuels.

Thanks for nothing.

The NZ govt's response to the attack on Iran by Israel and the US has been piss weak so far.

Greenpeace is calling on Luxon to take a stand of principle and condemn the illegal attack.

This petition will be delivered to parliament on Weds.

The obvious way for the Govt to save fuel now as the US war on Iran threatens supply is to make public transport free.

Will they?

Awkward for Shane Jones.

Former head of Marsden Oil refinery:
"Most other countries in the world outside MAGA US states and New Zealand are [going for 100% renewables and electrifying transport] now, at pace. For some reason, New Zealand 's going down the 1980s' path."

GOOD!!

It’s SO bad, not even Hoggard and the coalition of cruelty could get it back over the line.

What are they suggesting?

Nationalising critical infrastructure?? Okay… let’s talk about the Gentailers.

Corporate welfare?

It was a failing business.

If propping up a sunset industry is the answer, you’re asking the wrong question.

#nzpol

A human and environmental catastrophe is looming.

Fossil fuel prices are rising and supplies restricted.

THIS is why we must end the oil industry with a rapid shift to solar generation and electrification.

Greenpeace hangs a giant banner in Madrid's Puerta del Sol square with the slogan “NO TO WAR”

This is useful for countering all the anti-EV messaging https://interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/electric-vehicles/index.html

(Though not great for sharing directly because it centres the false statements).

The best way to stop wars, achieve World Peace and avert the climate crisis is to END the oil industry.

Bicycles require no fuel. They are the most efficient form of transport ever invented.

Bicycles can save the world.

As well as the unconscionable loss of life, the illegal attack on #Iran by Trump and Netanyahu has devastating consequences for the environment, with global consequences in the #ClimateCrisis.

Greenpeace mapped oil tankers trapped in the Strait of Hormuz.

One tanker already reported an explosion.

It was not carrying oil, but five fully loaded tankers carrying a total of 1.5 billion litres of oil are anchored in the vicinity.

Investing in homegrown solar and wind energy is now a matter of national security.

Incredible stuff here from Greenpeace.

This is all the evidence needed.

Bottom trawling HAS to stop.

You know what WON’T get stuck in the Strait of Hormuz?

Sunlight and solar panels.

I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.

I don't want self-driving cars.
I don't want humanoid robots.
I don’t want AI in every app I use.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want a habitable planet.

“Over the past two decades, fewer vessels have trawled the South Pacific’s high seas. Companies from only one country have kept at it, an island nation with a green reputation: Aotearoa New Zealand.”
