Business Council for Sustainable Development’s internal ructions
The Business Council for Sustainable Development’s report arguing that an emissions trading scheme could lead to more than $12 billion of investment over the next 10 years and create nearly 10,000 jobs has certainly thrown the cat amongst the pigeons. The interesting thing to me is not so much the validity or not of NZBCSD’s research [...] read moreJune 25, 2008 9:50 am - 33 Comments -
Nick Smith Calls Meridian and LandCare frauds
With the stroke of a pen, Nick Smith is calling Meridian Energy and LandCare Research frauds and painting emissions offsetting as modern day hocus-pocus. I guess this means that National has gone completely off the boil for emissions trading and is willing to come clean on their policy of climate change denial. He then goes on [...] read moreJune 13, 2008 12:32 pm - 25 Comments -
Meridian’s secret Mokihinui report
Minister Steve Chadwick said in response to Metiria’s question in Parliament this afternoon that the Department of Conservation will be making a submission in on Meridian Energy’s proposal to build a hydro dam on the Mokihinui River and it will be advocating for the protection of the river. Metiria then asked her about [...] read moreApril 15, 2008 5:49 pm - 1 Comment -

You can watch parliament questions and answers at 2pm on [...] read moreApril 15, 2008 11:27 am - 13 Comments -
Flying up the Mokihinui River
We’ve been talking about the Mokihinui River, which Meridian Energy wants to dam. If you want to see what it looks like, here’s a video that a kayaker called Ben put together: Metiria said last week: This river is quintessentially wild and ecologically special – the type of river that captures the imagination of New Zealanders. It [...] read moreApril 14, 2008 3:06 pm - 19 Comments -
Damming the Mokihinui River eels
One of the things both Russel and Metiria can get really passionately fired up about is eels. I’m telling you, don’t let either of them catch you saying nasty things about eels, let alone damming or irrigating their rivers; off come their calm, reasonable Green Party politician personas.So, you can imagine their current consternation [...] read moreApril 3, 2008 11:31 am - 10 Comments
