Who would have thought that the announcement of the BYD Atto 1 selling for under $30k NZD would anger so many people on Facebook? It's crazy. Me and the other moderator have removed so many seething comments from people who feel threatened by this smöl car. 🤷

Storage is Coming

Spring has sprung, the batteries riz
No wondering where the electrons iz
They say electrons are on the move, but that’s absurd -
For it’s current that flows, not electrons interred.
The flow’s in the wire, not in the bird

Inspired by an old poem, and many Spike Milligan recitals

The start of the end of oil evident in the data
Is this why we are going to war in the Middle East - to prolong the myth that we will need oil forever?
And why the well-oiled media to write stories of the economic stresses that conflicts around oil fields always brings?

Economists concerned on oil's fall: Asia's crude oil imports fall in 2024

World's top importing region 26.51 mbpd in 2024, down 1.4% from 26.88 bpd in 2023

First decline in 3 years, led by weak demand from China

Note to economists: weak demand from a growing electric China, not a weak China

As part of the Banks Peninsula project I'm working this month on forest remnants and reserves, the last remaining 2% of the Peninsula's forest cover. Just wrote an article about a little one in Kaituna Valley, surviving by luck and the foresight of one family. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaituna...

Has China's fuel demand passed peak?

China's gasoline, gasoil, & jet fuel consumption declined in 2024

Economists note: it's not a weaker Chinese economy, but an economy less reliant on oil
