Since National took NZ Govt office with ACT Party and NZ First, my friends and I have all lost work. Prices have gone up. Env't protections have been removed. Politicians have attacked #PayEquity, safer roads, and trans rights. I don't trust that lot an iota. 🔬 #NZpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/08/03/n...
National makes economic pitch after Trump tariffs setback
As the cost of living continues to loom large, the Prime Minister tries to convince voters his party can best tackle the issue – but global headwinds are hardly helping

Imports continue to be a fairly big part of how Ireland meets its electricity demand. But looking at overall numbers for 2024, it's quite similar to 2023, but domestic generation mix became cleaner, leading to a 8.5% drop in average grid carbon intensity, which is certainly welcome news.
Green Collective@greencollective.io · 2y agoIrish electricity also slightly cleaner in 2024 than 2023 (making 2024 the cleanest ever). Preliminary 2023 v 2024 stats: Low-carbon sources/generation: 42.2% v 42.4% Low-carbon sources/demand: 38%v 37.5% (Low-carbon+imports from GB)/demand: 49.5% v 50.2% Grid carbon intensity (gCO2/kWh): 280 v 256
Her har vi (dessverre) en sterk kontrast til Norges såkalte "satsning" på forskning i nåværende periode: Sverige ser ut til å gjøre en reell innsats. Det er vanskelig å forstå hvorfor Norge sakker akterut i denne konkurransen - tilsynelatende en villet politikk.
Sveriges forskningssatsing vekker oppsikt: — Vi skal ikke være det «passe bra» landet
— Vi skal konkurrere med de beste i verden, sier Sveriges minister for forskning og høyere utdanning, som øker forskningsbudsjettet med 6,5 milliarder svenske kroner.

Horizon Europe's overall budget is 95.5 BILLION euros. The gov't has decided that NZ's access to the portion of those $ that relates to humanities & social sciences isn't worth pursuing. Horizon investment in our researchers would cost the NZ taxpayer next to nothing for huge investment & reward

It is genuinely amazing to be an academic expert in why we have to be very careful with and even wary of all of the tools and systems we've lumped in under the term "AI" and watch all of the place that might publish the fact of my work, ignore its content. Just, literally, amazing.
