"Air NZ drops 2030 climate targets, raising questions about Dash 8-300 replacement
29 Jul 2024

Air New Zealand has axed its interim climate targets, stating that measures needed to meet the target were unaffordable and not readily available."

The first of many ?

That seems somewhat naive.
Any good politician knows that you don't drop a project like that.
The politically correct move is to instead start pushing the deadline back.

It takes about 8 years to build a modern nuke

the rest is red tape. When the Brits built the first commercial nuke it took a year to design and 3 years to build, and ran for almost half a century.

greg, did yo mean to reply to your thread (on DEFRs), where I mention nukes as the "best" (most practical?) zero emission power source we have today (for the scale of energy we plan to replace) ?
