We've heard about the Government's other crazy energy schemes, like the threat to build an enormous hydro dam at Onslow, drowning a UNESCO-level wetland and, potentially, with the Government's intervention, stranding others' electricity investments, stranding energy assets. Yet it's a lack of affordable energy that's damaging communities and making it harder for the Kiwi battlers who actually make things here in New Zealand to get on with their daily lives. The Government's energy policies have led to cuts or complete shutdown in production at mills in the Bay of Plenty. The Glenbrook steel mill is running in low gear, and Methanex in Taranaki has shut off part of their production and 75 workers have lost their jobs permanently because that business, making some of the greenest methanol in the world that goes into all of our household products, has decided, actually, there is no long-term future.
