Big Oil v the World 1 - Denial

Now that Bluesky is getting considerably more traffic, here's my regular reminder to watch these and get angry
Denial

This is exactly the issue in America, the whole country is in denial about the 'American Dream' being anything other than what it's made out to be
This current administration is just exposing it to the sunlight in a brazenly overt way, but it's always been like this

Righto. I've read the papers released by MBIE on the LNG analysis. This will be a longish thread on my thoughts, which I'll add to progressively. Docs are here. 🧵 1/-

Why not spend $2.7b on solar & batteries instead?
Govt to pay up to $180m/year or $2.7b over 15 years to lease LNG re-gasification plant, paid for by $15-$30 'levy' per household per year. That $2.7b would build four Benmore Dams worth of electricity

Bit late to it but if you want to know the chain of events that led to us importing gas (and charging electricity users to pay for it!!), I did this deep dive for RNZ last year www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
The fuel of ‘last resort’: How imported gas became New Zealand’s first choice
It's expensive, vulnerable to price shocks and terrible for the planet. So why are we importing gas?

Despite 85% of our power coming from cheap renewables the price you pay is set by the cost of gas
By an industry making 93% margins
Who are refusing to adequately invest in the cheap renwables because that would impact profits
Our electricity is expensive because that suits the gentailers

"A report from the BCG consultancy last year found that despite renewables making up 85 percent of generation in 2024, gas set the price 90 percent of the time. More expensive gas means higher power costs, even with all else being equal. That’s why it’s so critical to understand"...

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.

Australia: let’s roll out so much rooftop solar you can have free power during the day
NZ: businesses are closing down because they can’t afford power so we’re building a one billion dollar fossil fuel terminal so we can keep not having free power
