Energy Voices is launching new television advertisements tomorrow, escalating the highly successful, social media driven campaign against the end to new oil and natural gas exploration permits.

鈥淭he advertising brings the issue into New Zealanders鈥� 天美直播s and spell out the real consequences for them,鈥澨齭ays Petroleum Exploration and Production Association of New Zealand (PEPANZ) CEO Cameron Madgwick.

The first advertisement will feature on TVNZ 1 on Monday night around 9:40pm.

PEPANZ started the Energy Voices campaign to highlight the economic and environmental damage from the Government鈥檚 ban on new oil and gas exploration.

鈥淲e鈥檝e had such strong feedback and support, that it is clear this issue is not going away.

鈥淭he rushed decision will have significant impacts for future living costs, New Zealand鈥檚 economic prosperity, and our energy security.

鈥淲e鈥檝e found that a lot of people want the Government to take a deep breath and really look at the implications of the decision.

鈥淟ast year New Zealanders saw sky-high wholesale electricity prices as a result of low water levels in the hydro-lakes combined with a gas shortage in the North Island. 听That was a short-term example of what running out of natural gas will do to the cost of living.

鈥淎dvice from the government鈥檚 own officials was that the ban could increase New Zealand鈥檚 carbon emissions. The five year high for imported coal showed what will happen, if we can't find new natural gas reserves.鈥�

鈥淲e hope that the Government listens to the voices of many New Zealanders who are calling for a re-think.鈥�
