Rod Oram on the draft energy strategy

here.
The only thing i'm surprised about is how these columnists remain upbeat about our govt's approach to climate change and complex problems. They've kicked for touch on every single issue that has long term obvious-ness with short term pain (and that's localised voter pain, not NZ Inc. pain i.e. a functioning first world electricity sector *cough*Vector/Transpower*cough*).
Until proven otherwise, HC and Co. are just talking. Again. Why would you assume anything else based on past behaviour?
