The use of coal and gas to generate energy has increased sharply due to falling hydro lake levels. Ministry of Business Innovation & Employment data from April to June shows that coal produced 883 gigawatt hours of electricity. That's a more than a 500% increase on the same time last year, and it’s the first time since 2021 that coal produced more electricity than wind. Low hydro lake levels mean electricity generated from renewable sources dropped to 81% of total generation, an 8.6% drop

Kamala Harris was wearing audio earrings during the debate this week. Did you hear about this? Yeah, she was cheating. They looked like pearl earrings, but they also look like audio earrings. You can buy them, and you can have your staff feed you information in real time during a debate, they can coach you live. Yeah, it's real, I read it on the internet. That's the problem, isn't it?

That's half the population of Raetihi and Ohakune. Shane Jones calls it the hollowing out of regional NZ, and there's much more to come. We also had news Methanex is consulting on mothballing,
