During our travels over the last few weeks I have been assiduously avoiding all New Zealand media and political commentary.

One aspect of this has been our efforts bringing Genius ReFi to life.

Closing the spark gap should not come at the cost of gas customers, says Paul Spence from heatly

May 20, 2024 | electricaltimes.co.uk | Paul Spence

Like & share this news article: News Posted by: electime 20th May 2024 By Paul Spence , Technical Manager for heatly There is a lot of talk about the ‘spark gap’ – the difference in price between gas and electricity – as being one of the main reasons between consumers shying away from heat pumps, with closing this gap heralded by some in the heat pump sector as the ‘answer’ to all of our problems.

Mar 27, 2024 | geniusnet.blogtown.co.nz | Paul Spence

New Zealand faces a polycrisis due to decades of under-investment in public infrastructure. Indicative of this malaise are multiple failing infrastructures, over-stretched health services, decaying school buildings and unsafe civic spaces throughout the country.

I first clapped my ears on Ghost In The Machine, the fourth album in the illustrious career of British rock band The Police, as a spotty faced teenager. The cover art for that album features images of three musicians depicted as a glitchy digital display, alluding to the concept of the human mind taking on a digital persona.

Sep 26, 2023 | geniusnet.blogtown.co.nz | Paul Spence

This election was supposed to be a climate election. Our last chance to set in place a paradigmatic shift in policies governing the way we treat our planet and thereby setting an example to other nations. Instead, the topic of environment has been almost entirely absent from the debate. That says as much about voters as it does about the candidates vying for our attention of course.
