No. One that doesn't start with the disadvantage of having been the target of smears and negative PR campaigns for almost two decades. I would be fine with someone more radical than Bradford if they were less well known.
Integration of green infrastructure within built environments will also be key. Currently most rain hitting rooftops and roads goes straight out to sea. Higher quality design to turn this water from marine pollutor to a productive resource is needed. The ...
I disagree. Water is a finite resource only in as much as we are destroying the infrastructure that produces it. If we reverse the systematic degradation of our green infrastructure we get more clean water.
I wouldn't support Bradford in this position. Because politics. I believe Bradford has the skills and ability to do an excellent job. However her energy and unabashed fight for justice means she has been smeared and maligned by PR companies and politicians...
This was done in Glen Eden recently. The Postshop / Kiwibank branch services were sold to a private operator. Now, when I do my banking there, my business and personal financial details are viewed by people who are not employed by the bank. Before the ...
You should be able to edit and/or remove your own comments from facebook. I have done it in the past. Facebook does keep a record of but not display the original comments and subsequent revisions. Twitter though; post in haste, regret at lesiure.
All incidents like this should be used as an opportunity to examine the processes in place that the crew and rescue teams followed to see what worked well and what didn't. It's an opportunity to continually learn and update safety procedures to increase ...

Framing is not inherently dishonest or insulting. People connect to stories, we learn through stories, we share values through stories, we relate to others through stories. By focussing on child poverty we do not have to navigate how the child became poor;...
Didn't mean to be patronising. Sure, you disagree with the effectiveness and/or direction of the political strategy, but that doesn't negate the thinking behind it or why poverty groups frame it this way. And I disagree that it's a zero sum game; that ...
It does not dismiss adult poverty. Framing it as child poverty is done to bypass the "worthy poor" argument. Because it doesn't matter if a childs parents are any good or not, only a monster would deny innocent children an opportunity to succeed.
Obama prioritised giving trillions to the big banks, which is exactly the same as what the Republicans would have done It is actually what the Republicans did. Candidate Obama did express support for the plan, but is was George W Bush who signed Emergency ...
The links I provided weren't random. If you had skimmed through them you would have found the answers to your questions; On the CliqueSolar page you will see that milk powder is dried using their implementation of CSP. And the other item I pointed out to ...
Possibly, but that is beside the point. cycle infrastructure should be part of an integrated transport system. There are a couple of things to consider; Cyclists already contribute to the cost of roads/cycleways through rates, GST, income tax, driver ...
I don't mind the motorway spending as much as the timing. The need for cycling infrastructure of this magnatude is still a few years away.
As far as I can tell planning for the CRL was first mooted in 1920 so it's around 95 late. The last concerted effort to get the rail system working properly was in 1970, Muldoon's National govt was responsible for gutting that project. But if you're ...
Thats true. Unfortunately all those new motorways will Induce demand. So more, not fewer, idling cars.
The example I gave was current off the shelf solar tech being used to make milk powder. Yes, it is in India. Seems reasonable that the largest dairy producer in the world would be at the forefront of dairy tech*. As far as your costings: Ivanpah, including...

Wordpress smilies are here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies Explanation with table showing what text displays which smilie.
Concentrated solar power CSP is being widely commercialized and the CSP market has seen about 740 megawatt (MW) of generating capacity added between 2007 and the end of 2010. More than half of this (about 478 MW) was installed during 2010, bringing the ...
Which costs more, money or extinction?
The "deal" was never a good one because it made New Zealand complicit in the human rights abuses perpetrated by the Australian govt. Abbot received political and diplomatic support for his actions. While John Key got to sell it as "compassionate ...
Difficult to do when the prevailing belief within NZ is that NZ can't be corrupt, therefore it isn't. We hit the top or nearly top of the perception of least corrupt country most years.
It won't be that close, but not a landslide. Huffington Post's poll of polls is tracking 20 polls from 8 pollsters have Sanders at 49.2% v Trumps 42.5%. My pick is Sanders would win over Trump due to large capital interests backing the social democrat, ...
The news that the Auckland housing market had slowed down to only increase by 1% over the last month. Thats 12% over the year, or to put it another way; Doubling Time is 6 years!!
Fonterra could, for instance, set up a solar lens (or an array) and be able to offset coal use on fine days. They don’t because at the moment it is profitable for Fonterra to pass the pollution and climate change costs onto the rest of us, our children, ...
"the printed version stays out there like a dog whistle not leaving the herders mouth" I saw the headline and my first thought was; "bastards have cut the Kauri down". It wasn't til I clicked and read the story did I realise that it was a different tree at...
Story has been updated with some more detail. I expect I'll have to wait (and hope) that Prof. Geddis or G. Edgeler is curious enough to identify and blog on the legislative conflict that the environment court was unable to resolve.
In this case though, it's a tree that needs to be removed. So, it's the opposite of the Kauri up in Titirangi. Pretty sure the two stories will be conflated in the next couple of days by someone who has both a large public platform and a penchant for ...
The Labour Party did have the opportunity to sue the Herald and it's reporters for defamation. And Donghua Liu for libel*. But they didn't. So if the Labour Party shows no interest in defending itself, why would anyone assume they would stand up for New ...
