Where will you be watching #vectorlights?

The Team from

Vector Lights is turning on Auckland Harbour Bridge on January 27 with a spectacular world-first solar, battery and peer-to-peer powered light and sound show.

Bring along a picnic and find a spot with a great view of the bridge. Tune in to Coast 105.4FM to hear the music that goes with the show. The Vector Lights show will run every half hour until midnight. Coast 105.4FM will play for the 9:10pm and 9:30pm show, after that you can hear the sound on Vector.co.nz/lights.

You can also watch and listen live to the six minute light and sound show at facebook.co.nz/vectornz.

Vector Lights, part of a smart energy partnership between Vector and Auckland Council in collaboration with the NZ Transport Agency, will transform the Waitematā and become the guiding light toward a smart energy future.

Wills and Luxon are screwing the country to please the oil and gas industry.

Markus from Green Bay

Today the smart investment is in battery peaker plants in combination with solar and wind, or with any other renewable generation capacity during low demand times.
Gas is expensive and will get more so over time.

Let's not forget that Nicola Willis' dad is a big time oil and gas investor, lobbyist, and industry insider.

Maybe this should be posted in ‚Crime & Safety‘?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
