There are cheaper and faster solutions, that’s for sure.
As well as the unconscionable loss of life, the illegal attack on #Iran by Trump and Netanyahu has devastating consequences for the environment, with global consequences in the #ClimateCrisis.
Yes absolutely! Better to switch to a bike and a bus pass, but an EV is a better option than petrol or diesel —- better for the planet and your wallet.
I bet everyone who managed to install Solar Panels is pretty happy with that choice right now.

Yeah I hope he hangs on.

I think it’s blowing up now.
Israel kills father, daughter in Gaza as genocide continues amid wider war waged by Israel and the US

One of the many horrific things about the attack on Iran by Netanyahu and Trump is that the genocide that Netanyahu is inflicting on Gaza continues unabated in its shadow.
Just remembering how Luxon bought a new Tesla EV when there was a Clean Car Discount, then cancelled the policy so others couldn't do it, and is now canning the Clean Car Standards and adding a new tax to petrol.
What a guy.

Yeah there could be that too
The one silver lining in the upcoming oil price spike is that we might get a break from all the ute-bros roaring around town in their ridiculous Ford Rangers.
And, Luxon’s lot are now going to kill the Clean Car Standard.
At a time when fuel prices are rising and emissions have to come down.
It’s a pattern and it benefits big business while the rest of us pay the price.

Countries that have adopted electric vehicles the fastest will suffer the least from oil price spikes caused by the US/Israel attack on Iran.
NZ is not one of those, thanks to Luxon’s poor leadership.
Greenpeace mapped oil tankers trapped in the Strait of Hormuz.
One tanker already reported an explosion.
It was not carrying oil, but five fully loaded tankers carrying a total of 1.5 billion litres of oil are anchored in the vicinity.

After reports of a Iranian #droneboat strike on an oil tanker off the coast of #Kuwait, we detected oil slicks near the SONANGOL NAMIBE tanker, thanks to Planet imagery. One of the many environmental impacts of the war on #Iran that we're currently tracking.
FUCK!
This is terrifying.
Coastal sea levels are already up to a foot higher than many scientists thought, according to an alarming new assessment from the Netherlands
That places tens of millions more people in the danger zone sooner than previously thought.

It's a pattern, and it's to benefit big business at our expense.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, Luxon’s lot are going to kill the Clean Car Standard.
At a time when fuel prices are rising and emissions have to come down.
Russia is the only other OECD country without these standards, it’s BONKERS.
A world of peace and plenty for all, is a world without billionaires.
Centrism has never defeated fascism.
And, no, not losing elections doesn't count as defeating fascism.
Why is there always enough money for MORE BOMBS
and never enough for school meals, healthcare, or to protect people from climate disasters?
We’re going to have to reboot the world after Trump crashes it.
It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.
I want to change that.
