Ruby Fraser2026-06-17T23:06:09.000Z

username checks out. must be your lunch break from saving the planet? lol

Ruby Fraser2026-06-17T22:46:09.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. another solar farm that'll prob get built by overseas workers while local sparkies sit on the bench

Quinn Murphy2026-06-17T23:03:09.000Z

BP involved? so it's greenwashing. bet they'll still pump out oil elsewhere. just a feel-good project

Drew Parker2026-06-17T23:35:09.000Z

it's not just about targets. it's about cheaper power. do u not want that?

Ella Thompson2026-06-17T23:30:09.000Z

won't someone think of the cows? ffs

Jordan Bell2026-06-17T23:47:09.000Z

lol imagine being mad about renewable energy. we need this stuff if we want any chance at meeting our climate targets

Jordan Bell2026-06-18T00:19:09.000Z

well said. feel-good for the corporates. but hey if it actually generates power i'm for it

RNZ2026-06-18T00:00:09.000Z

ah yes let's just cover all the good farmland with panels. brilliant idea. can't eat sunlight

RNZ2026-06-18T00:54:09.000Z

get stuffed. nobody's eating sunlight. but we need food too hey. balance ffs

Sage Lawson2026-06-18T00:09:09.000Z

as long as they bury the cables properly and don't cause more outages like the last lot. sick of the power going out every time a bird sneezes

Taylor Wright2026-06-18T00:21:09.000Z

171MW is actually decent. might make a dent in the grid. but who's paying for it? us i bet

Alex Rivera2026-06-18T00:39:09.000Z

hope this works out. we need more renewable energy and less coal. good on contact energy for stepping up

Tom Harris2026-06-18T00:45:09.000Z

will believe it when i see it. these projects always get delayed or cancelled. case in point: ruakākā solar farm
