LNG is like keeping NZ on heroin temporarily acc to Craig Renney. It will cost $2.7b & price volatile acc to geopolit sit. It doesn't generate a single watt. The gvt ruled out renewables bc they might interfere w the mkt ie gentailers make less profit. Gvt is favouring s/holders over consumers.

If it walks like a tax and quacks like a tax, it's probably a tax.
Tax is fine, but don't use it to increase electricity costs AND climate change with something that will be a stranded asset anyway!

Can't wait for the appalled headlines two months after the general election when someone decides to actually check National's math, by which I mean, read what Craig Renney had to say about it the day it was announced
Counterpoint - what if the rightwing parties AND every major news outlet aggressively lie about the "cost savings" for 9 months and then REPEAT that same strategy for numerous other lies about Cost of Living
Here’s the thing. Power bills in this country suck. The price keeps going up. It’s a financial burden on many households. Campaigning on actual measures that would lower those bills - forgetting entirely the benefits to the country - would win votes. An LPG terminal isn’t going to win votes.

All while stripping basic science research to the bone and removing scientific oversight of the Marsden Fund. Shambolic
The Govt claims to be pro-market yet: $200m subsidy for oil exploration; Uncapped subsidies to decommission old oil fields; $1billion subsidy for LNG imports; Fonterra faces zero price for emissions under ETS. There is a pattern here. They are using the state to support and subsidise pollution.

STOP BEING REASONABLE WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE BUILDING CONCENTRATION CAMPS, TORTURING CHILDREN, ENGAGING IN DOMESTIC STATE TERRORISM, AND COMMITTING MURDER
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

Pay more now and the potential future cost savings will be at the whim of the international market so may never happen. All so we can keep propping up Methanex' current business model rather than investing in renewable generation

Of course they will.
