To replace the world's current dependence on dirty burning things with clean electricity is much bigger than what you suggest. Much bigger.

Your conservative option of saying "Ooooooh! its a big big job" and "Ooooooh! It will take a long time." while wringing your hands just isn't an option.

I was only talking about our situation in NZ, to make the most of the hydro we already have. Maybe we shouldn't be making aluminium in a less efficient plant, when we could be running most of our vehicles on that energy, at say 80% efficiency. Worldwide, I think fission (and later fusion energy) will be what is needed to fill the gaps. Assuming economies continue to grow. What if they go backwards?

Warmest November day in NZ, since records began. Not a record I'm that happy about.

Key and co, trying to dig a sod for the symbolic start of the new undersea comms cable. Note the blue spades and ribbons. It's a National Party PR stint. Except they really do look like a bunch of muppets.

Reminded me of Don Brash walking the plank to board a boat. All three certainly lacking in spade technique.
Possibly a dastardly plot by the left to show the rights lack of practical skills.

Exactly. The left or Labour have not learned anything. If they keep trying to attack Key its a certain disaster for them come 2017. Almost feel sorry for ElZorro and his attempts to make Little more personable. Chris Trotter summed Little up quite nicely...

Blackcap, aren't the hits just starting to add up? Just a bit?

He's a smart guy, Dr Ken Gledhill. Would I believe him, or bombastic Gerry Brownlee?
