Geothermal: a renewable resource for now and future generations

Kylie from Hutt City Libraries

Last year, Geothermal energy supplied 17% of New Zealand’s total electricity, a resource independent of weather conditions and with low CO2 emissions. Dr Cécile Massiot will discuss opportunities for geothermal heat and electricity generation across New Zealand, and exciting perspectives for the near future.

This talk is part of The Sources of Our Resources, a series of science seminars from GNS Science to inform, educate and raise awareness of New Zealand’s unique natural resources. GNS scientists will offer insights into the latest research and the challenges and issues around their use and exploitation.

Come along and ask questions to initiate an informed dialogue on where these resources are found and how they will be managed and cared for in years to come.

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

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

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?
