That clear?

Solid Energy has plans to start mining lignite in Southland, turning low-grade coal into diesel, urea, electricity, and briquettes. If the projects go ahead, our carbon emissions will go through the roof.

We cannot develop a sustainable economy by subsidising activities that intensify climate change and dig up our environment in the process.

The Government should be looking for clean green energy solutions. We need to amend the ETS so that there's a price on all new activities that increase carbon emissions and support for sustainable alternatives.

Brownlee sees sense

Big man listens to reason

Yesterday in the House, Earthquake Minister Gerry Brownlee said that he expected that all further OICs would be "dealt with before the year's end"
Good. Then 'Makes-the-earth-move' (Indian name) Brownlee can put the appalling Canterbury Earthquake Response and Recovery Act to the sword, repeal it, whatever, just so long as that abomination is buried and not brought to the surface again.
And good on Kennedy Graham for prising that from the Minister Responsible for Quakes.
Now, if Kennedy can wake Key up to the stupidity of changing our employment laws to suit the Warner Brothers bully boys and perhaps even stop him from pouring our tax monies into their outstretched claws    hands.
