I would think more effort in harnessing the elements such as sun, water and wind should be made. There's been a lot of talk about all of them, but I doubt it's got much further. Perhaps involving members of the public and gearing them up to putting pressure on the government would go some way to seeing a cleaner, greener and sustainable future.
Wind farms are very unpopular with residents and thought to be a blot on the landscape, so perhaps a different way of dealing with it could be considered. Personally, I don't mind them as I think they're quite futuristic-looking with their clean lines, but I can see how most people don't like them.
NZ has an abundance of water and wind and a fair bit of sun so it would be a pity not to utilise them as they should still be available when all else has become depleted. Being such a small country it's a good place to start up various projects and set the rest of the world a good example.
