⚡🍿 One man. One manifesto. Many portfolios. His name is MegaWatts and he has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to save households thousands on their energy bills, save the country $11 billion every year, slash our emissions, keep the lights on, grow the economy, and help New Zealand lead the world.✊ Will he grasp it? Or will others step in and steal his thunder in next year’s ‘electric election'?
📈 ⛽ 🚢 New Zealand’s energy system is expensive, emissions-intensive and very vulnerable to shocks. Our 2025 policy manifesto shows what needs to be done to fix that and it is not pie-in-the-sky thinking. It’s an achievable and affordable plan using technology that exists today, but it requires greater political ambition to bring it to life.
💲 It’s now in our national interest (and our economic self-interest) to use more locally-produced electrons in electric machines rather than expensive foreign molecules in fossil fuel machines. See the vision 👉 rewiring.nz/manifesto.
And send Simon 'MegaWatts' Watts and the opposition parties a message to let them know you back it.
