The iron logic of the learning rate means that solar PV plus batteries out-performs every form of fossil fuels now, and every innovation and clever idea and production improvement and efficiency gain will continue to widen the gap every single year henceforth

Agree, also, in my view, lowering the voting age to 16 would give real force behind civics in high schools- there would be real an outcome for the students to focus on. As it is now i can imagine a lot more disengagement. Thoughts?

The thing is, RNZ is not under commercial pressure to churn out ‘content’ as frequently as possible, and doesn’t have to publish clickbait because it doesn’t have to generate ‘engagement’ for advertisers.

It's $36m a year, for goodness sake. The cost to taxpayers in 2023-24 from storm damage *in Tairāwhiti alone* was nearly half a billion. Yet the same govt throws tens of billions at mega-roads because they're very important for the economy. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...
Government rejects plan to prevent landslides and save hundreds of millions in Gisborne
Plan pitched as a model for other regions too.
