No science here, we are the media!
17 June 2026For quite a few years now, I've been suggesting that the power currently feeding the aluminium smelter run by Rio Tinto in the South Island could be better used.
Instead of effectively giving away all that valuable electricity, surely we could use it for more productive, less polluting and more productive purposes.
This is especially true now that the government seems fixated on tying our energy future to an LNG terminal and the importation of natural gas from overseas.
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
