Physicist Shaun Hendy argues the case for a fast, electric, daily train service between Auckland and Wellington.
Last year, Kāpiti Mayor K Gurunathan led his council s declaration of a climate emergency – now he wants the Government to step in to save the struggling Kāpiti Coast Airport. Aviation is responsible for 9 per cent of the district’s greenhouse gas, according to a council report. That includes Kāpiti residents flying out of Wellington airport, as well as flights from Kāpiti airport. Since August, the private owners of the airport have been “reviewing all options”. The mayor is worried they’ll choose to close it, recently writing to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
