Australia Door Closes as NZ Opens to Offset Renewables Electrochemical Schemes

Under full pre-Trump Restoration momentum the Australasian branch of the Anglosphere displays a no-problems-here attitude to the return of the president.

The region keeps its official foot on the zero throttle in spite of the incoming president repeatedly promising to eliminate on his first day in office all and any restrictions to underground energy sources.

In New Zealand there is a latter day gold rush as foreign investors seek to implement leases on low lying pasture in order to construct solar generating schemes.

In one such valley alone these schemes are already encroaching on premium vineyards.

Forty percent of New Zealand wine exports go to the United States invoking the possibility of retaliation centred on chemical processes designed for arid regions being positioned inches above water tables.

A reason that New Zealand has become a focus for foreign investors trading renewables rights is that Australia surprisingly is actively pushing back on the schemes at district local government administrative level.

In Australasia any indication that restrictions on things like gas, oil, and coal are responsible for inflation are poo-poohed at once by the vast army of public servants in both countries charged with suppressing such fuels.

In a sinister suppression of information any research is instantly choked that might show that public policy against traditional fuels is responsible for a big chunk of the cost of living.

A blanket of verbiage centred on the dawning era of renewables is the response.

Slickly ignored are such facts as every piece of equipment having to be imported, installation costs, and relatively short life span blended with unstated disposal obligations and costs and who exactly is responsible for them.

Australia and New Zealand remain in COP thrall similar to the one that existed in the United States prior to the Trump restoration.

New Zealand’s alleged conservative coalition is an example.

Its right-ish wing component the ACT Party treads around the issue like broken glass by lamely claiming that it has to conform in order that New Zealand can trade internationally with it partners.

In only a few months’ time the biggest partner will quit this demonstrably inflationary dance when president Trump issues his “drill baby drill” proclamation.

Half of New Zealand’s contribution to the state of catastrophe claimed for C02 is said to be caused by ruminants in the course of their grazing.

Such is the fear and trembling wrought by the upscale electorally shifty metropolitan suburbs that the obedient politico media industrial complex dare not even point out the following.

It is that food production is exempt from the C02 agreements and always has been.

The New Zealand open-door policy to these pastoral electrochemical generator projects known as agrivoltaics encourages foreign investors to site generators close to rural existing substations serving agricultural communities.

More worrying is that the government’s clinging to placating the metropolitan privileged is actually leading to international obstacles.

These are not necessarily tariff ones.

They are likely to be centred on the pollution vulnerability of a primary base of foodstuffs now being posed by the environmental effects of this new pasture located industrial variant .

The migration now of these pasture-based solar schemes to New Zealand demonstrates the force of the push back in Australia.

Elsewhere the Canberra government determinedly seeks to quash underground fuels wherever it quite literally finds them.

The Canberra Labour government especially in regard to the incoming president Trump is in a position that can be compared to an organisation that believed that it had seen off a hated boss.

Only to discover a few years later the same tyrant reinstated and more powerful than ever.

Two Australian federal prime ministers openly expressed doltish opinions about Donald Trump.

One of these is the sitting federal prime minister.

The other is a former Labour prime minister who is now Australia’s ambassador in Washington.

Meanwhile in New Zealand the bureaucracy organised zero campaign has successfully steered any debate away from the composition of these schemes.

To an alarming extent the componentry includes long term contaminants such as polyfluoroalkyl substances.
