Mike Hoskings and Prime Minister Chris Luxon sat down in the studio this morning for a discussion on electricity and gas in New Zealand.

“The oil and gas ban was one of the dumbest, most insanest moves I’ve seen happen.” said the PM this morning.

According to Luxon, New Zealand must steer back away from coal in favour of gas as a source of energy. “We’re the only country I’m aware of in the world that’s actually transitioning from gas to coal.” Which Luxon said is “twice as bad as gas.” 

The PM says his plan for future-proofing New Zealand’s energy grid is essential for supporting planned datacenters and other high-energy usage projects.
