NZ's energy future is dark
13 March 2026I've already written a column on the potential fallout from surging oil prices and shortfalls in supply of transport fuels here in New Zealand but it seems the topic is still a hot one.
According to this media report the government may be contemplating the re-introduction of 1970s measures such as carless days as a way to cope with the looming problems created by the current Middle East conflict.
To be honest, I'm having trouble working out how we, one of the world's greenest nations, ended up in this position.
Forums are Down
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
Recoverable Proxy
Would this system help improve the nation's democracy and introduce some much-needed accountability within parliament? Spread the word!
