@alicesoapbox You are not wrong. It’s been a real challenge to come back to NZ/A after 12 years and adapt to the large adoption of Te Reo. I think it’s awesome and I’m trying hard, it’s tough to rewire the brain though. 12 years of adoption in one go!

Im just stunned by the wholesale rate of power. My new install costs me about 4c per kWh and the price of electricity on the wholesale market is above 80c for most of the day. The ROI on solar, exported at the wholesale rate is quite frankly remarkable.

The problem with pricing methane is that the only real way to reduce it is to downsize farming. Is that what we want? I’d much rather see investment in technology to solve for this. Methane is only an issue because we made the climate an issue but burning too much fossil fuels
