Yeah nah this is just another way for the govt to funnel cash to their mates. Super Fund backing it? Lol they'll lose billions.

Honestly, if it means cheaper power and jobs for Taranaki I'm all for it. About time we moved on from gas.

Who actually wants wind farms ruining our coastline? We get bugger all benefit and all the visual pollution.

because burning coal is such a beautiful view. Get real.

Wind power is a scam. Works 30% of the time. Meanwhile we'll be paying for backup fossil fuels.

Lol typical boomer takes. Climate change is real and we need renewable energy. Get with the times.

5 billion bucks, and we'll still be paying the highest power prices in the world. Ffs.

Taranaki's been gutted by oil and gas leaving. This is literally their best shot at jobs. But nah, complain about the view.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-16T05:32:00.000Z

has a grid connection to Norway for hydro backup. We don't. Try again.

Mate, have you seen the turbines? They're massive. Good luck with your 'views' when the whole coast is industrialised.
