The media is quick to overlook the fact that the country, not the Government is trying to recover from a situation the Government created.

Have a look at solar carports, you get the bonus of free power off the roof. There are a few options for these in NZ now.

Low productivity is not the fault of the workforce in NZ, its bad settings like expensive electricity, no sensible approach to transition off dying fuels, trying to put all of our freight on to the roads, monopolies and low pay disensentavising innovation.

This last two has been very destructive for NZs future sustainability, stability, security and economy thanks to the coalitions changes. What worries me a lot is Labour have not talked about any solid plans to return to sanity.

Driving from AK to Waihi yesterday and the bad behaviour was out in force, and inevitably most of it was our beloved ute community trying to drive their utes like racing cars with an extra helping of automotive intimidation.

Silly question but assume these pellets still produce GHG and air pollution, is the intent that the GHGs are offset by growing the trees, do the real world numbers stack up?

The sad reality is this will be weaponised into more brutal cuts mostly impacting those with less.

May become a reality for councils to pay the bills after the rates cap. Charging for libraries isnt really going to help and will just kill them off.

Kinda confusing because Willis has her roots deeply planted in the NZ initiative and they are all part of the same ideology factory.

Have been a two EV family for 4 years, never has range been an issue. Driving a fossil car now freaks me out because I have gas station anxiety and dont understant what that needle pointing to just under halve actually means.

Thanks, so the last question is what credits are polluters currently surrendering?

Does this mean there is no demand for credits, no one needs credits because they dont need to account for carbon ,they have banked enough previously or they are sourcing them elsewhere. I assume our industries are still pumping out GHGs.

Is anyone in the mainstream media calling out the lies from the Nats leading up to this point. These were not vauge promises but deliberate lies.

No I have done a review and as I had said for many use cases they are very well suited, energy density is better than a lot of LFP, temp range is good, charge cycles life looks good, just not ready for high performance use cases. You can buy it for static storage today.

I would not second guess the experts from the world largest battery company. It is in the market, from what I have seen previous challenges have been overcome. I am guessing from your profile you are a box thinker with a pre defined position against renewables.

I am not a battery chemistry expert but CATL have productionised them with a better lifespan, temp range, stability and energy densisty than standard LFP so it looks like they will be common place for many common usecases.

So the Ag lobby narative that always focuses on the family farm does not represent these folk on balance.
