Another average day down south

Here’s the report: https://t.co/YKknqKiR4x #proud #lowemissions #practicalsolutions #CCUS

Another practical, user-led tour de force from the @WgtnCC planning dept. Bus stop seats at one of Wgtn most popular bus stops on Lambton Quay a metre outside of the veranda cover - exposed to the rain. So as useless as the proverbials in bad weather

New Zealand has excelled in geothermal for decades, and it's exciting to see us joining the U.S. and Iceland in advancing supercritical technology (SCGT). Great work @gnsscience

Honoured to have been confirmed by my energy peers from across the globe to hold their trust to provide strong governance and financial stewardship for the @WECouncil as it reaches into its second century of global energy leadership and insight #humanisingenergy #governance

There’s no room for bottom lines in consensus building. It takes understanding, openness & a willingness to collaborate and compromise around a set of key guardrails. This will still allow for distinct policy settings. Are our politicians up to it? @chrisluxonmp @chrishipkins

Our energy shortages result from policy failures. All political parties should negotiate in good faith to restore the confidence to invest in all forms of energy #crosspartyconsensus #energysecurity #investmentconfidence #justtransition

Time for NZ politicians to #buildbridges in the best interests of all NZers - and bring back bipartisanship on energy policy. Enough closures, job losses and missed investment @mangonui08 @SimeonBrownMP @SimonCourtACT @Megan_Woods @chrishipkins #unjusttransition #energysecurity

“New Zealand faces an energy shortage which threatens our electricity system and the competitiveness of our exporters. We now urgently need to attract further investment in exploration and production to keep the lights on, our houses warm and business humming”

It’s known NZ doesn’t have its #trilemma balance right, but our new Govt is facing this head on, opting for a back to basics approach on #affordability & #energy security, looking to revitalise the gas sector by encouraging investment as a key element of this #NZopenforbusiness

First came coal, followed by gas. A personal observation

Valuable lessons here for New Zealand from how the @netzero_tc has been established, its mandate & work programme. Critically it allows for x-sector collaboration. @JudithCollinsMP @ShaneJones_MP @SimeonBrownMP @gnsscience #energytrilemma #lowcarbontechology #collaboration

Kudos to Nature for publishing this "I am concerned by climate scientists becoming climate activists, because scholars shouldn't have a priori interests in the outcome of their studies. Likewise, I am worried about activists who pretend to be scientists" https://t.co/NapJpiDWFV

Thank you @PwC! The best coffee (and snacks) at @WECongress #snackifyingenergy

Straight down to the business of governance at @WECouncil as we head into @WECongress @rotterdamahoy #humanisingenergy #energytrilemma #energytransition

Alarm bells are already ringing in the sector this year around the absence of available natural gas - there are some significant unmet demand and electricity security risks that we will simply need gas to fill in the coming decades. #energysovereignty

Having a great time at @womadNZ, thanks for your hospitality @omv. Feeling the good Energy here in the beautiful Taranaki #MusicFestival #GoodEnergy

Totally enjoyed facilitating this awesome panel of Justine Gilliland @BlueFloatEnergy Nigel Barbour @orionnz Andrew Harvey-Green @ForsythBarr and Laura Harris @ Mafic Partners. Thanks for the great discussion about the massive investment the NZ energy sector needs @IResources

Natural gas is needed to keep the lights on and energy affordable while we scale up renewables. But to allow gas to play this role we need urgent action to allow our declining gas fields to be replenished and replaced. Urgency is needed @mangonui08

Great evening to be at the cricket. Let’s all say it “you can’t beat Wellington on ….”😊 Go the @BLACKCAPS they’re off to a cracking start!

Still waiting on a response to this @nzpolice @NZPoliceMedia your response at Waitangi was simply dreadful. Let me paraphrase (to someone who can’t walk properly) “go over there to get on a bus”
