A couple of projects confirmed this year: Tauhara Geothermal (152 MW) - Contact (construction started Feb 2021) Harapaki Wind Farm (176 MW) - Meridian (construction starting 2nd half 2021) Possible: Mt Cass Wind Farm (93 MW) - Main Power (final decision ...
Questionable how much Rush actually understands climate change despite passing Masters in Climate Change Science & Policy: Climate scientist rubbishes his student - Wellington councillor Sean Rush [Stuff]
Still a boondoggle that has consumed a huge amount of research funding over several decades (and looks like it will continue to do so). That funding, IMO, would have (and would be) better spent elsewhere.
They've been serious about fusion power since the 1950s, still haven't got sustained fusion. Always been 10 to 20 years away. The promise of "the Sun in a bottle" has meant incalculable time, energy and resources invested this vision of a clean, never-...
In 2.2 I was thinking of NZPP standing under its own name. NZPP is a component party of Advance NZ (link), so it might be okay if everything is done through the combined entity. (Or might be one for the lawyers.)
Maybe stand electorate candidates under JLR's Advance NZ banner as that is a registered party.
If a political party is unregistered, and passes the threshold at the election, can it get list candidates into parliament as a result? Probably not! Electoral Commission's Guide to Party Registration (link) says unregistered parties can only stand ...
blunderbirds Who's pulling the strings?
Left wing fascism is a thing too (apparently).
Palmerston North City Council is the road controlling authority, suggest contacting them. As well as speed, the lack of right turn bays at the Roberts Line intersection is poor (particularly with the large relatively new Foodstuffs distribution centre ...
Since scarpering before the end of his third term ... Makes me think of Sir Robin for some reason... Edit: was meant to be reply to Tiger Mountain

@Weka Wonder about electrifying the big dairy factory at Edendale (currently a coal burner). There's an existing grid line via Gore but don't know if it has sufficient capacity (it's lower voltage 110kV, compared to the main national grid 220kV). Manapouri...
Dunedin ... not atop a faultline There's a mapped active fault less than 10 km from The Octagon (runs along SE side of Taieri Plain at least as far N as Wingatui) (NZAFD, GNS). Also, the Akatore Fault that goes offshore near Taieri Mouth likely continues ...

Unlikely via fur IMO. Fur is generally tanned & I doubt virus would survive that (given that much less harsh plain old soap & water works).
Nice looking numbers, hopefully the 1 gets over it soon & 0 stays 0.
Amazed at the number of people who seem to think that decreasing the Green vote is the best way to get movement on environmental issues ...
You mean vote for a party that allowed police free entry into our property. Are you suggesting voting for one of the other parties that allowed it? Also, are you suggesting that the Greens shouldn't have become part of the government?
... going to 'man it out' down there Don't think so, they had one really bad cluster in the northwest centred around a hospital. 200+ cases of the 228 total, 12 of the 13 deaths. Various allegations about poor PPE supply etc. At least one of the deaths in...
Thanks for posting that, always like a nice set of faceted plots. Good for an eyeball comparison.

Christchurch already has water meters fitted, just needs the political will to charge for residential use. [Fixed error in e-mail address]
Age structure of the population is certainly worth a look. Frank was correct in Africa having a younger population than Europe (pity about the way he raised it). Compare population pyramids for Africa and Europe: Europe has far more 60+ people than Africa ...
Sun Valley lentils are NZ grown, don't know about their chickpeas. (Also NZ grown are their pearl barley & split peas - just looking at a pack of their soup mix that I need to use up.)
Point taken, more at both ends. I suspect there's probably some BAU types elsewhere on the spectrum who aren't unhappy with the just keep going as we are (on fossil fuels) message though.
The whole may as well just keep burning fossil fuels cause renewables are worse message is pointing the way forward for the oil industry... It's been interesting seeing who has uncritically swallowed it, bizarrely seems to have found appeal across the ...
