Government Energy Strategy

Tonights news had an article about the government's startegy's with regards to energy resources, sustainable energy, and emmision levels. There was quite a bit about how they may look at putting a cap on how many gas guzzling cars are imported and encouraging fuel efficient/hybrid cars etc.

I didn't hear one thing about motorcycles and their possible promotion as more efficient means of transport. As this is something pretty close to my heart I intend to send an email to the minister for energy David Parker and maybe you can if you want to comment. His email address is

david.parker@parliament.govt.nz

This gist of my email will probably go along the lines of the post I put on by bike blog a while ago which you can see here:
