As I have said to you several times Ad, the existing DC’s currently only use about 140 MW of power which (as you say) has taken many years to develop, Just the first two DC’s now proposed for AI require 530 MW of power. This is on a scale of many times …

The just-opened much vaunted $600 million wind farm in Southland will produce 198 MW*. That is enough to power only 71% of the data centre now being constructed in Southland. *the wind farm was built in two stages; 43 MW followed by the just finished 155 …

I see John Boscawen is one of the TU company directors. He was on Radio NZ’s The Whip political discussion a couple of weeks ago spouting massively pro-ACT opinions. No sense of balance. And of course Jordan Williams is another director, and Ruth …

Reid Research, Talbot Mills and Verian all have Labour above 30 and ahead of National. Unlike the three above, Curia is not a member of the professional research body and so must be treated with some skepticism. Yet the billionaire-owned Herald and ZB …

I thought Hipkins did pretty well on Morning Report this morning. He called out the lies National is spreading on its billboards, said the Curia poll was by National’s pollster and that internal polling had Labour over 30 per cent. Also mention a new …

Yes not a great Curia poll for the Left. Farrar, who carries out the poll, is no friend of the Left of course. The numbers are: Lab 25.9 Gre 13.9 TPM 2.0 =41.8 Nat 29.0 ACT 10.5 NZF 8.4 =47.9 Opp is a wasted vote as they are below the five per cent …

Fair enough Res. You know far more about this than me. But Australia have made it work. And, from what you seem to be saying, it could be made to work over here if, instead of spending $2.7 billion on the LNG import plant (Bernard Hickey’s estimate) we …

Bishop also continues to support the now widely-hated fast-track legislation. This is the disaster; not he RMA which has permitted a huge amount of development. Supporting fast-track will cost the CoC at the election, providing Hipkins makes it plain he …

Ad-because it’s the right thing to do? But the political climate has changed significantly since the days you refer to. The Iran war, and technological advances, have made many people realise that solar is now a genuine (and cheaper) alternative to fossil …

Yes, it’s a case of watch this space and hold your breath Chairman.

Alan: Are you being ironic in accusing the Left of being divided compared with the alternative? On planet CoC all is sweetness and light.,,,(irony)

Alan is clearly one of the many “men” voters. He is upset that there is still a clear path to power for a Leftish government despite him and his ZB-listening mates preferring the macho, racist, drill baby drill, women-despising, Trump-loving CoC.

Yesterday’s Roy Morgan poll: Lab 24 Gre 15.5 TPM 1.5 =41.0 Nat 31 ACT 10.5 NZF 7.5 =49.0 Opp 9,5 Luxon may be ruing ruling out Opp if this causes them to talk to Labour first. A GOLM coalition would have a working majority with a couple of TPM overhang …

Methanex is closing its methanol producing plant in 2027. This puts 37% of NZ’s gas on the market. It means that the LNG import terminal should be shelved by the CoC today because, even before the demise of Methanex, it almost certainly wasn’t needed with …

I noticed that bwag. Luxon never mentions anything to do with reducing CO2 emissions. He only complies for business purposes. He also argues that Paris isn’t working and should be changed because many countries aren’t complying with their commitments, …
