If we want energy for bridging the gap where sun and wind don’t work, why are we spending money for a LNG terminal, instead of on another geothermal plant or three? It’s almost unlimited energy for which we don’t require the import of expensive foreign gas! It’s almost like our current govt is […]

Happy solstice, summer or winter, wherever you are

As if anyone needed any proof of #climate change, here is a family of ducklings in #LowerHutt, #newzealand *before* the Winter Solstice (tomorrow, which is the first day of “Winter”). I also saw flowering daffodils this morning. #wellington #climatechange

Government gave all local councils three months to submit their proposal of how they wanted to be amalgamated or the government would do it to them anyway and if govt doesn’t like their proposals, will do it anyway, govt intend to remove legislation for local councils. TLDR: Govt to local […]

I saw someone using #firstworldproblems just now, but most people don't know what "first" "second" and "third" world even meant! In the Cold War, "First World" was US and its allies, "Second World" was USSR and its allies, and "Third World" was everyone else. So Switzerland is actually a […]
