Aukus, Israel, China, US and Russia. Dr Reuben Steff, Ep 386

What’s behind the sunny spell in solar power? Matt Ward, solarZero
Every 35 minutes solarZero installs a new residential solar system. It plans to invest $1 billion in new solar and battery systems over the next decade and already has 12,000 installations. It made headlines this time last year when it was acquired by Blackrock, the world’s largest investors. And in September just gone, the government-owned NZ Green Investment Finance invested $80m alongside two other funds. In other words, solarZero is on the march. The 15 year dream of Andrew Booth is now mainstream.. How does it work, why is it attracting so much capital, and how does it reconcile being owned by one of the largest coal and fossil fuel investors in the world?
Vincent spoke to chief executive Matt Ward.

Around the world in an ETS – Ian Parry, IMF
Ian Parry is the Environmental Fiscal Policy Expert at the International Monetary Fund. He came to speak at a series of events in New Zealand about tax. It doesn’t get more exciting than that. But there’s more. Ian is a specialist in carbon pricing, emission trading schemes, and the role of fiscal policy in climate mitigation. The timing couldn’t be better, with New Zealand wrestling with changes to the ETS, price drops and then recovery in the carbon market, and growing skepticism about the veracity of offsetting and claims about carbon neutrality. He spoke to Vincent.

Pushing Past Progressive Education, Ep 382
If our behaviours are the end state, before that was a tactical decision around what actions would be engaged in to invest. That ties into a strategy, which comes about after considering what the best approach would be to achieve your goals. How did the goals get there? Well, chances are, there’s something about you that’s unique. Each of us has a ‘special mission’ if you like – in fact, without occasionally considering our purpose, even though we achieve our goals, we’re never happy. Ready to tackle your own strategy?

RBNZ: All Care & No Accountability, Ep 380 Michael Reddell
Unelected, ideological economists using outdated economics have, in my opinion, over the past 3 years set in motion a chain of events that will cost billions to fix. Considering we can’t vote for them, we should be critical of them. Read more here. Michael Reddell [www.croakingcassandra.com]is a former economist at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and a current economic commentator and blogger.

Higher Interest Rates for Longer, Ep 379 Michael Every
Watch previous episode with Michael Every here.
It’s hard to take seriously the voices that tilt towards doomsday scenarios when all it is is ill-informed pessimism coming from someone desperate enough to double down on conviction for a win. The lesson in the boy who cried wolf was for the boy, after all.
What if the boy had great, long-distance vision, though? We’ve just been ignoring someone trying to help us.
My guest today is not the boy in the story. He’s a cogent voice calling out from the wilderness, warning us the tide’s just shifted, and perhaps it’s time to prepare. Read more here…

NZ’s biggest ever windfarm – Giacomo Caleffi, Taranaki Offshore partnership
In June this year, a new piece of equipment was anchored 37km off the coast of Pātea in the South Taranaki Bight. Called the Floating Light Detecting and Ranging device, FLiDAR will measure wind speeds at heights of up to 300m as a well as waves and currents to provide data critical for assessing the feasibility of a proposed offshore wind farm. The Taranaki Offshore Partnership, if successful, will be the largest windfarm in NZ, producing 1GW or 10% of the country’s needs. That’s about the same as one large hydroelectric scheme. TOP is a JV between NZ superfund and Denmark’s Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. NZ project leader is Giacomo Caleffi spoke to Vincent.

Farming indoors – Darryn Keiller, Way Beyond
The future of farming may be indoors. With eroding coastlines, droughts and unpredictable downpours, farming may be better done in controlled, indoor environments. Better for GHGs emissions too. We know that’s already happening for tomatoes and leafy greens – but what about large scale crops like wheat or fruits or sheep and dairy?
Darryn Keiller is the founder of Way Beyond, a company specialising in data and management of such indoor farms – and he joined Vincent.
