The article is dated 25/07/23. It will still be six months before the government makes any decision. And will it be in favour of the people who signed up?
Personally I support this initiative and believe that mankind should switch to fossil energy from wind and solar power. Why not build huge solar power stations?

There are such projects, for example - https://environment.govt.nz/what-government-is-doing/areas-of-work/fast-track-consenting/harmony-energy-solar-farm-opunake/ - but not very many of them.

Why am I saying this? The point is that any protest has to be backed up by a proposal for another development.
