Supporting the #NoKings protest from the other end of the planet by finishing planting the last of 1300 native trees 🌳 Where MAGA wants to see giant polluting coal holes in the ground, we are rewilding the old coal mine on our land. Grow the good green, oppose the orange oppressor Also: baby chicks!

The news are all ridiculous, mind-bendingly stupid or outright apocalyptic RN, but I got to report on three amazing #sustainableenergy conferences in the last week: Ara Ake’s Energy Affordability & Resilience conference, He Ahi Kā E Ao Hou Māori community hui & the Māori Future Energy Summit. Hope 🙌

What do see in this picture? I see a hideous, sociopathic predator. Imagine ANY other President having that look whilst “comforting” a grieving widow at a televised memorial for his “good friend” 🤮🤮🤮

I hope our 40-resident settlement of Pūponga will become the smallest Dark Sky Sanctuary in Aotearoa 🌌

Happy #SpringEquinox from Down Under! Our fruit trees are blossoming, despite the terrible Spring winds, and we planted over half of our 1000 native trees already 🌳 🌺 🌱

Stoked that I just handed in my chapter on "Hidden #Energy Users - Who they are, where they are, why they are hidden & who knows them" for Prof Mari Maiskanen's Handbook on #EnergyEquity. If we are truly interested in achieving a "just & fair energy transition", these groups need to be our priority.

Omg one of our cabin guests took the most amazing #milkyway #nightphotography from our land! We’re trying to turn Onetahua / Farewell Spit into a #darkskysanctuary - I think this may show it’s not such a bad idea? #flashes 🌌 Photo by Jason Ng

3rd major flooding event in 2 weeks in Nelson Tasman! First one, our road got washed out. Second one, no phone or internet in all of Mohua / Golden Bay. Third one, no power in most of the Top of the South. 6 months of rainfall in 12 days! 💦
