Its because the coalition of clowns are pushing their agenda to hard - if they just slowed down did proper consultation, listened to kiwis, they would be leading the polls but no have to ram everything down people's throats.

#1 in the list

On December 3, 2023, six days later, they announced they were cancelling the New Zealand Battery Project. The Battery Project was designed to provide large-scale long-term storage to give security to the electricity network. We need this security because fossil gas has been declining for the last 20 years, the grid is moving to close to 100% renewable electricity, and we are electrifying transport and industrial processes. The Battery would have stored around 5TWh (5,000,000 MWh) of electricity in a pumped hydro scheme to cover the risk of a dry winter. This is about 1000 times the storage in the world's largest lithium battery, or about 25,000 times Meridian's largest lithium battery in New Zealand currently.


This is a major fk up.

The govt should be maximising energy from all sources.
