Methane Vaccines, Solar Myths, and New Zealand’s Energy Gamble
Trent Loos welcomes New Zealand’s Damian Buckley for a hard-hitting look at renewable energy, methane policy, and global food security. They examine solar energy’s high costs, low efficiency, and heavy reliance on Asian manufacturing, plus how UK offshore wind farms generate revenue for the Crown. The conversation turns to taxpayer-funded methane vaccines for livestock in New Zealand, Australia, and the EU, and how they compete with Bovaer feed additives and methane digesters. Damian explains New Zealand’s energy shift, including imported LNG and the Marsden Point refinery shutdown. Trent reveals concerns about meatpacking consolidation in Lexington, Nebraska, and the fight for farmer independence.
