The tell is that they didn't commission any study of alternative ideas given the drop in cost of solar over the last decade, which other economies are leaning the fuck into with great success, but solar would the opposite of owning the libs, so it doesn't make the cut as an option to even consider.

The govts LNG plant idea is culture war bullshit based almost entirely on being an iteration of 'drill baby drill' which is an 'own the libs' policy they landed on some they can't just claim AGW is a hoax anymore (which was a less culture war position that they lost on the merits). Prove me wrong.

It is very funny that Elon talks about building a city on Mars or a city on the Moon when we all know him building a city in Indiana would be an unmitigated disaster

Sometimes I wish there really was a secret room somewhere where thirty people who really run the world get together and decide shit just so I could burst like a school principal into a rowdy class and yell 'quiet down right now. what the fuck are you kids playing at'
When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured”

cute how they have a number for how much households will benefit, based I assume on modelling of the spot price for electricity with LNG added to the mix, but are very cagey about the other numbers, which are just too up in the air to discuss at this point in the election cycle, i mean, process

'The net benefit of us adding a levy to your bill is that your bill will actually be ever so slightly lower. Not lower than it is now mind you, lower than what it otherwise would be if we didn't do the thing we need to levy you for.'

The $50 annual cost savings per household is cute too. Less than a dollar a week is something that will essentially come out in the wash of other variables on your power bill. The chance of that saving being passed on on households is lol. Prove it.
I call bs on this magic 1 billion figure, the same as their fiscally neutral ..14 billion tax cuts were.. #nzpol

Australia: let’s roll out so much rooftop solar you can have free power during the day
NZ: businesses are closing down because they can’t afford power so we’re building a one billion dollar fossil fuel terminal so we can keep not having free power

Trump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known he’s been doing this.” That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief.
Here's a gift link to Julie K. Brown's article in the Miami Herald.

You may wonder why humans haven't gone back to the moon yet, it's been about 54 years.
But put that in context: the time between the first and second trips to Aotearoa/New Zealand by European explorers was 127 years.
