We are 24 years away from when the world needs to be at net zero carbon emissions. Fossil fuel infrastructure and even some appliances have about a 25-year design life. That means that every gas power plant, gas pipeline, or gas boiler you install today is a middle finger pointed at your grandkids.

I honestly don't think we make enough of this. We decided to reverse a trend of a century or more of birdlife dying out & with time and money and community we did it. There are *goddamn kiwi* in the back yards of my neighborhood. There are species we haven't seen in a century in & around Zealandia.

So these were taken on my walk to work, from an inner suburb to the city fringe (Karori to Kelburn, for locals). I grew up in the area, and I absolutely would never have seen these birds in people's front yards 30 years ago. Wellington & its people made a choice to bring them back & we succeeded.

Minister of Tourism Louise Upston on where the $40m came from to entice large overseas acts to Aotearoa. My #cartoon today #NZpol #NZMusic #NZArts
Cartoon. Title: “The Impresario” Two frames. 1st frame shows Louise Upston saying, “I can’t pull money for local performers, concerts and  festivals out of thin air!” 2nd frame has her continuing, “and I didn’t pull money for big overseas acts out of thin air” Image shows Upton with her hands out, wearing a suit and bow tie, with money rushing from behind her, saying, “I had the $40 mill coming out the wazoo!”

You could do the above for less than the RoNS north of Warkworth. I have a more ambitious wishlist—see last chapter of Can't Get There from Here—but this is where we should be *starting*: it rightly ought to be seen as basic for functional transport, not pie in the sky or subject to partisan whim

The graph seems to be going up faster than it used to. We’ve increased emissions instead of cutting emissions. The Canadian, British and Australian prime ministers and the German chancellor are all currently aggressively trying to increase fossil fuel emissions.

Forget the Nats' half-arsed student debt policy and read the Green Party's policy on tertiary fees and student debt. See summary and full education policy here: www.greens.org.nz/education_po... #nzpol
2.7. Ensure equitable financial access to tertiary, vocational, and community adult
education for all New Zealanders, including by:
2.7.1. Providing fees-free tertiary education;
2.7.2. Introducing a universal student allowance for tertiary students that covers their
needs, including participation in society; and
2.7.3. Writing off all student loan debt.

This might be one of the funniest chart about energy scenarios I’ve seen. You can hardly see “actual” for gas
Winners and Losers
The IEA overestimated gas growth in Asia and underestimated solar

Gas
• Forecast 547 TWh
• Actual 17 TWh

Solar
• Forecast 465 TWh
• Actual 1,333 TWh

Note: Shows expected growth in Asian power generation between 2018 and 2025, based on actual 2018 generation, actual 2025 generation, and the 2018 World Energy Outlook's Current Policies Scenario estimates for 2025. Actual 2025 generation figures are from Ember.
