Black gold discovered

Oil has been discovered off the coast of Tauranga near a reasonably accessible reef. So far, hundreds of tons of oil has been extracted and could be sold on the open market for a tidy sum. A new business venture is seeking investors in order to manufacture low lying reefs, and disperse them around busy harbours to capture more oil.

Gareth Hughes of the NZ Green Party has called for a moratorium on deep sea drilling until this alternate business opportunity can be fully investigated.

  1. Well, sort of very silly. But then again, the Rena "disaster" seems to be generating a bit of silly all round, so why not slide in.

    What happened to all that oil they collected anyway? Must be worth a tidy sum.
