Ännu ett land börjar backa bak från de gröna fantasierna. Nya Zealand planerar nu att backa tillbaka från sitt beslut om att inte ge tillstånd till ny gas och oljeutvinning.
Jag hoppas att ingen tar mig i örat för att jag citerar ett så stort stycke från Dommbergs senaste.
"As with Germany before it and Britain soon enough, the harsh realities of physics have asserted themselves yet again. Let’s explore the specifics of what’s happening and appraise Luxon’s proposals for the country’s path forward.
The proximate cause of the immediate crisis is New Zealand’s strong reliance on hydroelectricity. Like all sources of renewable energy, the amount of water nature provides is intermittent and dam levels occasionally plummet dangerously low. Weather patterns may take years or even decades to produce such conditions, but they inevitably do, and New Zealand is struggling under such circumstances now:
“Low hydro storage following months of dry weather has forced power generators in New Zealand to boost fossil fuel electricity output by 67% so far this year, according to data from energy think tank Ember."
As hydro storage slumped this year, hydropower generation fell to the lowest level in about a decade, per the data reported by Reuters columnist Gavin Maguire.
At the same time, power generation from the backup coal and gas power stations jumped by 67% between January and July 2024 compared to the same period last year.”
