Lmfao you speak with authority despite it being complete bullshit.

"Heavy subsidies and huge upfront costs" applies far far more to oil and gas than to anything else. It's only due to the massive amount of technological and economic inertia behind oil and gas that it is still around.

For building new power generation, utility-scale solar and onshore wind are now almost universally cheaper than new coal, oil, or gas-fired power plants. This threshold was passed in most of the world around the mid-2010s and has become undeniable in the 2020s.

Solar is now often cheaper than existing fossil fuel plants: In many regions, it's now cheaper to build and operate a brand-new solar farm than to just keep running an existing coal or gas plant.

"The market" doesn't operate like you get taught as a child. The vast majority of economic decisions are made by those in power to ensure they stay in power. It makes little sense for a business person to cannabalise their own industry. They have vertically integrated and are invested in the supply chain from start to finish, and there's no benefit to them for things to change. It's far easier to just impede competitors than change the course of behemoth corporations.

Yeah I agree, that was a ridiculous thing to say.

The dairy industry is significantly more damaging to NZ's ecology than some feral cats. I'm not saying it shouldn't be addressed, but there are measures already in place. It's important to keep perspective and not be distracted by media.

Can you use an example please? I'm interested

I find corspes yuck because it feels the same as cannibalism to me. I have no issues with touching human hair or fingernails, but I wouldn't eat your arm, spleen or eye. Does this help?

I have no problems with anything you say - as a vegetarian, Id also like to be able to distinguish between products and ensure Im getting plant based stuff. You should keep in mind that this is not the actual intention of the meat industry pushing for this. Theyre just trying to fuck with the competition.

If anyone actually pursues this hit me up, Id be interested in helping
