James Shaw: Green Party Co-leader on the party's renewable energy plan

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Sundays

The Greens are hailing their new renewable energy plan as their way to tackle the cost of living crisis. The party's pledging up to $36,000 in grants and loans for homeowners to pay for improvements like insulation and heat pumps. It would also put solar panels on Kainga Ora homes, which the Greens claim will save people money on power. Greens Co-Leader James Shaw told Mike Hosking that most of the party's policy promises would be funded by the wealth tax it's backing. He says it wouldn't be fair to take money from the health or education budget. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
