Rainman, it seems to me there are 2 reasons for moving to a low-carbon economy. One is to avoid disastrous climate change, the other is because fossil fuels will become so rare as to be uneconomic to extract. Far from doing nothing, Labour recognised this when in office in the NZ transport strategy – setting out via biofuels, more public transport, more coastal shipping, more rail, more electric vehicles – a pathway to reduce transport emissions by 50% over the next 30 years. Ditto in the NZ energy strategy – a pathway to reduce non-renewables electricity generation to 10% of baseload by 2025. We’d immediately restore, update and strengthen these and other strategies in office, as opposed to diluting or rolling them back as the current Government is doing.
