Meet the sisters behind what may be New Zealand’s only tinned fish company -Herald today, not paywalled.

Inspirational entrepreneurs. Seems Tinnies are not (yet) widely available, but definitely worth supporting locals who successfully manage to navigate some serious obstacles. Well done them. The new government should be having a word with them to find out how they did it. And why they had to.

  That’s a great story. Thanks for alerting us to it. And no, the new government should stay right away. Where it belongs.

The state of Tamil Nadu in India has received international acclaim for installing wind power generation. They boast 29% of its generating capacity comes from wind – one of the highest dependencies in the world.

Now it’s in all sorts of strife because fluctuating voltage is ruining plants and brown outs are playing having with computerised machinery and motors reliant on a steady supply. Several large businesses have closed down and supply from gas fired stations is being purchased from 1200 kms away.

  ‘Radiant today announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has granted approval of its Documented Safety Analysis (DSA). The approval marks a key milestone toward full-power testing of Radiant’s Kaleidos microreactor at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and allows the company to advance to DOE’s Readiness Review, the next step before nuclear operations can begin.’

Tt… One of the inconvenient aspects of the renewables. Big scale solar has the same problem.
UK solution? Turn them off but still pay… Bigly.

Streisand effect in full swing as Luxon provides more publicity in the Herald for the overhang vote splitting strategy:

Luxon certainly seems to be doing everything he can to lose the election.
