Public Address 15/09/04 - Energy And Freedom

PUBLIC ADDRESS 15/09/04 - Energy and freedom

Hi folks,

A couple of guest posts today. I would recommend putting some time aside to read Dave McArthur's essay, which advances the view that we're steadily moving further away from what a modern electricity network ought to be. It seems particularly relevant as we sit and watch the Auckland Energy Consumer Trust (I find that last word a little ironic - why does any such sale need a "code name" in the first place?) haggle over a partial privatisation of our lines business, Vector. I'm unaware of any argument that this sale will benefit me. Quite the contrary. It's stupid and reckless.

Cheers,
RB

GUEST: David Williams' Dateline London via Sydney

Much soul searching has been done since the 2001 terrorist attacks in the US. Why do these terrorists hate us? people ask. During a powerful address to congress and the American people just days after September 11 three years ago, US President George W Bush asked that very...
