Tradable Energy Quotas - Degrowth Aotearoa New Zealand

Have you signed our petition yet, asking for investigation of
Tradable Energy Quotas (TEQS)?
This is a scheme where we ration fossil fuels and reduce the total rations every year. Businesses pay for their rations but people over driving age
get theirs free. Rations are tradable.
If we want a reduction in fossilenergy use and hence a reduction in material throughput TEQs will do it and
people will adapt to a new way of living.
The ETS isn't working because
governments, aware of the cost-of-living issue,
will be inclined to intervene
to make sure the price of petrol doesn't rise
(it interfered last December and
then two ETS auctions failed)

Our high energy lifestyle is costingthe earth. We need big changes quickly. With TEQs, unlike ETS, everyone is involved and has the same goal – to plan their life and work to adapt to fewer
rations next year. It is a sure way to reduce emissions.

Tradable Energy Quotas (TEQs)
is a national system
that would ensure fair access to energy for all,
guarantee that
a nation actually meets its
emissions reductions targets,
and encourage active
society-wide participation and cooperation in
rapidly reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Let’s stop pretending that a fast enough transition
away from fossil fuels is actually underway
and that it will not have a huge impact on our lifestyles.
Jack Santa Barbara makes a case for
fossil fuel rationing.
