Kids who got new bikes "super excited" to walk them around the city that's too dangerous to ride in.
Very hard to find any rational explanation for this.
Some entrepreneuring Kiwi ought to be buying up every used Leaf they can get and installing these batteries in them
We have easy access to the supply in Japan and these 62kWh batteries give incredible range and are so incredibly simple to install

Tell them to move on.
This is a wonderful thing. The entire community has been working for about 17 years to eradicate possums from the peninsula, and they’ve succeeded.
Big games require big decisions.
Arteta made one, withdrawing a disappointing Saka on the hour mark.
Noni Madueke provided the manager with his reward and "changed the game".

#NZpol From a few days ago: New modelling shows renewable electricity can meet NZ’s future demand – without importing gas
- doubts the logic of “imposing a levy on electricity to fund an LNG terminal”, “because New Zealand also has a goal to achieve 100% renewable electricity generation by 2030,”
Coming up next on Radio NZ, Kathryn Ryan previews the new "Kiwis in Climate" book.
I'm honoured to be a co-author of this effort to invigorate climate response in Aotearoa.

If London can pedestrianise Oxford Street, Auckland can do the same to Queen Street. Follow best practice globally and the data rather than car-lobby reckons.

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"
In Australia cars averaged 114 gCO2/km (target 144g).
Light commercials 199g (target 214g).
In NZ: cars 138g (target 113g),
light commercials 219g (target 223g, old target 155g).
Standards work. Yet NZ Govt is asking the car industry if it wants to scrap them.

The LNG terminal is a subsidy to industrial gas users (funded by electricity consumers) to delay the transition away from gas. It won't reduce domestic electricity prices, and they'll go up when LNG prices spike, as they are now. It's solving a problem for industrial gas users, not for consumers.
I think a non-trivial number of people will have dropped OpenAI / ChatGPT in favour of Claude in the last few days. Enabling mass domestic surveillance and automated US military kill chains isn't a win for the OpenAI brand.
