Wind and solar are the cheapest sources of new electricity generation, and New Zealand has an abundance of both.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time for the Government to step up and make the choice to lead Aotearoa into a clean energy future.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-61546  sticky-bottom-mobile collapse
