I have recently installed solar and have been looking at the retailer options.
What I find really unfair is the price the retailer buys your export energy for.
For example mercury who I am currently with pay 8.5 cents per kilowatt hour and charge me 29 cents per kilowatt hour.

What I find really unfair is the price the retailer buys your export energy for.
For example mercury who I am currently with pay 8.5 cents per kilowatt hour and charge me 29 cents per kilowatt hour.
Looks like a better option is meridian who offers 17 cents per kilowatt hours buyback and 30 cents per kilowatt hour charge but you have to sign 3 year contract.
I heard that the electricity authority has made some changes regarding the buyback rate but this will only come into effect June 2026.

The kākāpō, our famously lovable but critically endangered land-parrot, are forecast to have a massive breeding season in 2026 - perhaps the biggest on record!

How do we know? Kākāpō only 'get busy' during rimu mast events (where rimu grow heaps of fruit), every 2-4 years. Because we can anticipate rimu mast events, and kākāpō love rimu fruit, we can predict kākāpō breeding activity.
Since there are only 242 kākāpō today, this bumper season is important.
This positive outlook on population numbers is especially exciting since, due to the mahi of conservationists, the kākāpō have completed their first season on the North island (at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari). The booming of the kākāpō has not been heard on the North Island of Aotearoa for over a century!

Will the use of AI to complete daily tasks, particularly school work, impact cognitive abilities and creativity?
Recent work out of a MIT Media Lab suggests that people who used ChatGPT have lower brain engagement than those who did not when writing their essays. While the MIT Media Lab work has driven headlines recently, others have been quick to remind us that the fear of technology is nothing new.
We want to know: Is AI an addition to the technological toolbox, or should we be having bigger conversations about the impact of AI technology?
