Right now, climate change, and the polluting companies that are causing it, is putting theirs and all of our wellbeing at risk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/publication\/a-plan-to-solarise-new-zealand\/\">We know how to fix this<\/a>. We already have the technology and the tools to power our homes, transport and businesses with clean energy from the sun, wind and water.<\/p>\n<p>But oil company execs are stuffing their fingers in their ears and digging ever deeper for fuels we can\u2019t afford to burn. One of those oil companies is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/what-is-omv-guide-2019\/\">Austrian oil company OMV<\/a>. It\u2019s one of just 100 companies that has caused more than 70% of the world\u2019s carbon emissions since 1988. It\u2019s also one of a handful of companies that\u2019s capitalising on the early effects of climate change by controversially drilling for oil in the thawing Arctic.<\/p>\n<p>OMV and the world\u2019s oil companies have known about climate change for three decades. They could have used their significant resources and influence to invest in clean energy. They\u2019ve had a whole generation\u2019s worth of time to support their workers to transition to sustainable jobs. They haven\u2019t. They have let us all down.<\/p>\n<p>Now OMV is scheduled to pick up the colossal yellow oil rig later this year for new, high-risk oil and gas exploration in previously untouched waters off Taranaki and Otago.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re probably asking, what on Earth are they thinking?<\/p>\n<p>Especially when that rig has been stymied by the very resource we could be capturing to power our society: wind.<\/p>\n<p>What if, instead of drilling risky, deepwater wells for dirty oil, OMV chose to invest in an offshore wind farm for Taranaki?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_65\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/04\/b9c592eb-gp0str0yu_pressmedia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-65\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Thanet Offshore Wind Farm is located off the coast of Thanet district in Kent, England.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Offshore wind requires similar skills to the offshore oil and gas industry, providing great jobs potential in a region already equipped with a skilled offshore workforce. This transition is beginning in the North Sea, where forward-thinking governments and businesses have seen the enormous potential of wind in a world that needs desperately to quit fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>Canterbury University researchers have used wind data from existing oil and gas platforms to calculate the offshore wind potential in Taranaki. What they\u2019ve found is very promising. There\u2019s a big opportunity for Taranaki in offshore wind. What\u2019s needed now is some decent investment to do a proper feasibility study.<\/p>\n<p>Why not redirect the hundreds of millions OMV is planning to spend on searching for new fossil fuels that we can\u2019t afford to burn?<\/p>\n<p>Investing in offshore wind development in Taranaki would be a common sense way for OMV to support the region and its workers, instead of endangering all our futures with their relentless search for climate-wrecking oil.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how inconvenient, you can\u2019t negotiate with physics. Climate change is happening and it\u2019s caused by burning fossil fuels. Denying that fact is only delaying the inevitable transition that Taranaki and its oil industry workers will face.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re the number-8-wire nation and we\u2019ve never shied away from a challenge in the past. We have an opportunity now to redesign our energy system so that we stop polluting the air and ocean and instead regenerate this land for ourselves and our children.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to rise to the challenge or get out of the way. Because one thing is for sure. The tidal wave of young people marching for a future they can actually survive in will wipe out OMV\u2019s oil rigs soon enough.<\/p>\n<p><em>Amanda Larsson is a climate and energy campaigner for Greenpeace NZ<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"EmptyMessage\">Block content is empty.
