Description: 'The Politician' cartoon strip. When one of the members of the parliamentary stvernment's new energy strategy will rely on the use of fossil fuels' she comments 'It's a pity we can't burn some of the old fossils that made that decision!' Context - Tapping oil, gas and coal reserves has been made the top priority in the government's plans to develop energy supplies, sparking a furious response from environmentalists. The strategy, Developing Our Energy Potential, puts exploring ''petroleum and mineral fuel'' reserves - essentially oil, gas and coal - ahead of investing in renewable power sources and new technologies. The Green Party said the energy strategy "demonstrates how backwards-looking this government is on energy". (TVNZ 4 April 2011) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
