Flood-prone dairy farm power stations emerge as being global energy trade-offs An official scheme to encourage the development of immense solar generating sites on dairy farms outside North Island tourist townships has emerged as the proposed Helensville site (pictured) became again submerged in the region’s most recent floods. The power site, an immense one, complete with large scale batteries and complex current conversion towers might even have been on its way to completion had not a local action group constantly drawn attention to the risks involved in the low-lying pastoral site. The Helensville Group Opposing Solar Farm Construction has been…

Supporters want to do good but now questioned how well they were doing themselves Jacinda Ardern never understood that her guilt transfer policies that once thrilled the middle class now dismayed it. The main reason that Miss Ardern missed the signals about her tarnishing moral robes was paradoxically her success in winning over the media to the justice of her causes from the outset of her premiership. They tip toed around her – as did her own MPs. The impression gathered momentum throughout the past year that Jacinda’s attentions were on more distant horizons instead of the mundane ones such…

Davos Money Makeover hots up while South Island Rivers cool Banking Circuits The World Economic Forum’s cryptocurrency priority as the centrepiece of its “internet of value” explains the intensity of the interest now by the global technology community in New Zealand providing the two essential components for this development. One of these is mechanical. The other is ethical. The mechanical component is the provision of the enhanced cooling required by the server farms hosting the accelerated technology. The guiltless component is that the power driving the cooling systems is itself derived from renewable sources instead of fossil fuels. The internet…

Electromagnetic Radiation Field peril to Public Health ignored in New Zealand government’s single minded rush to please Internationals Deliberate state policy fast tracks industrial scale solar installations by plugging them into town electrical substations to take advantage of in-place national grid connections. This campaign is now revealed as having failed to take into consideration the consequent proven adverse effects on community health and safety. This is surprising because the founding world authority on the effect of electromagnetic clusters on humans was New Zealander Dr Neil Cherry. He was associated with the other world authority Professor Robert Becker researcher in electrophysiology…

Dr Neil Cherry eminent scientist identified electromagnetic equipment and cancer, cardiac link The government sponsored experiment to position very large scale solar generating installations on the boundaries of towns in order to take advantage of their existing close-in substations runs counter to the warnings of a pioneering environmental health scientist about the danger to human health of the resulting electromagnetic radiation fields. The scientist was Dr Neil Cherry now acknowledged as the global pioneer in researching and then publishing his discoveries centred on the threat to humans of exactly these types of large scale concentrations of electromagnetic radiation fields. Dr…

Coy quip camouflages Ardern Appointment with Destiny Winsomely deflecting the unspoken question posed on the nation’s independent free-to-air television TV3 morning talk show New Zealand’s prime minister Jacinda Ardern declared spontaneously that she was aware of a rumour that she might resign and even move to “New Plymouth.” Nobody dares to follow up this typically adept, humorous, and ironic trade mark diversion by doing a simple translation in which New York instead of New Plymouth is the actual destination. Ironic because the New Zealand New Plymouth is the capital of the nation’s energy producing region and where the premier for…

Liability becomes Credit with Statistical Reclassifying A categorisation overhaul in which the pasture-economy nation’s vast grasslands are included in the emissions equation would see New Zealand classified as carbon dioxide positive instead of carbon dioxide negative. The agricultural nation until quite recently had an entire government agency known as Grasslands which existed to refine and define the role of the herb as the central factor in the export economy. The absence of the Grasslands organisation and the subsequent dispersal of its official responsibility and emphasis meant that its role has been left open to any number of different interpretations especially…

Profits by foreign parent selling to local subsidiary still unseen by politicians Transfer pricing is the main inducement for foreign companies to invest in New Zealand infrastructure. Hiding behind nominal “Kiwi” companies they have the opportunity to attain substantial profits simply through the foreign parent selling to the New Zealand subsidiary. The outstanding example of this was the takeover of New Zealand’s railways by a group led by Wisconsin Central Transportation Corporation. The government impression at the time was that under the operator, Wisconsin Central, there would be attained substantial economies through the United States investor sharing its investment notably…

Groundswell Unbowed hews to productivity which will combat Famine, Starvation Once all-powerful farmer representatives must now sit on their organisational hands while they see the nation’s most important industry engulfed in the government’s evangelical-grade fervour designed to simultaneously cut back pastoral productivity while inflicting more tax on it Federated Farmers knows that the level of official excitability is now so volatile that any discernible campaign to introduce topics such as balance of payments and export revenues will only act as an accelerant. They know too that the government’s determination to portray New Zealand and thus itself universally as the shining…

Rouble’s new oil exchange currency status is just the start warns international banker After being surprised by the Sino Soviet military alliance, the West must now accept the reality of Sino Soviet manoeuvring to establish a joint reserve currency challenging the USD. This is the conclusion of leading Middle East banker Meguerditch Bouldoukian the former deputy governor of the Bank of Lebanon and the world authority on correspondent banking the system under which trading banks cooperate with one another internationally. In an interview with MSC Newswire he observed that since the end of the Cold War the West had seen…

Helensville and Greytown Hold Line against Solar Tsunami while elected stay gagged Solar power station coverage of dairy pasture is a policy win-win for the government. The first win is for its renewables scheme. The second is by eliminating the cows blamed for creating half New Zealand’s greenhouse gases. The halve-the-herd cry is routinely on the lips of activists unconcerned by the fact that the dairy industry is the nation’s chief export earner. Tourism was the runner-up man foreign currency earner until Covid restricted world travel. Its recovery is now threatened by solar carpeting such heritage areas as Helensville and…
