What most people are missing with the “road to zero” and “zero carbon” is the rest of the sentence that the elite and govts left out.
What they really meant to say was zero deaths from private automobile transport, they can’t have the slaves driving themselves on and off the plantation.
Zero emissions equal zero movements.... aka living in Japan style coffin apartment blocks in smart cities and walking or public transport to work.
Hawkes bay will be destroyed economically if this goes ahead. And so will likes of Taranaki and the Far north towns if this goes ahead. We are already short on capacity and this will only further starve transport resources as drivers run out of hours with slower speed limits. Whether or not it’s by design or the peculiarity of our geography but most of tbectruck trips from out lying provincial towns and cities are only just in reach of return journeys of major hubs.
Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket - Eric Hoffer
