NZ on track to burn a record amount coal in 2021 - officials

From Morning Report, 7:43 am on 26 July 2021

New Zealand is likely to import more coal this year than it ever has before, in the midst of a self-declared climate emergency.

Last year was already the highest in 14 years and we're bringing in even more in 2021,  mostly to power our homes and businesses.

The government thinks it'll amount to at least another 150,000 tonnes.
