My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

Highly recommend uni leaders to watch a doco on Bill Gates and learn of the very disturbing negative impacts of his foundation's works. There's a lot more to it than simply vaccinating poor people or altruism.

Not someone to be involved with.

NZ has so much hydropower already it would be straightforward to run the entire country on water, solar, windpower and EVs.

In 2023 a RW coalition govt came to power dominated by #AtlasNetwork trained David Seymour from the Atlas founded ACT party. Big gas getting this payoff for Atlas support.
Nicola just fuelled that fire with more of her famus IREX Class Math

“A small group of conservative activists has worked for 16 yrs to stop all government efforts to fight climate change. Their efforts seem poised to pay off.”

Woodside gave $53,775 to Labor ahead of the last election. Three weeks after the Albanese government won, Environment Minister Murray Watt announced he would extend the life of the company’s North West Shelf gas plant by 40 years.
