More rooftsolar photovoltaic panels in cities could help solve New Zealand’s energy crisis
New Zealad’s current electricity supply crisis requires immediate solutions. But we argue the government’s emphasis on importing natural gas and construction of centralised solar farms is a missed opportunity. The case against gas has been highly publicised because of its greenhouse gas emissions and substantial costs. But the government’s focus on large solar infrastructure in … Continue reading More rooftsolar photovoltaic panels in cities could help solve New Zealand’s energy crisis
