Bob LeFridge :tinoflag:The Port Chalmers road is full of container & logging trucks and the Port lacks storage space. Calder Stewart's announcement last week of a 200ha inland facility north of Milton, covered in solar, with direct connections to SH1 & the main trunk rail line. The rail connection will remove 10,000 heavy truck trips from the road each year. Even better, the entire $3bn project will be privately financed by Calder Stewart.A few days later, Shane Jones announced the government was giving Port Otago and Dynes Transport an $8.2m loan for a competing plan to put an inland port in Mosgiel. This can only proceed if NZTA funds a heavy traffic bypass, which they’ve said they won’t do. And I’m sure Mosgiel folks don’t want a massive increase in trucking movements to clog their roads. Whatever happened to ‘let the market decide’? Trust this coalition to back the wrong horse.Govt funding: <a href="https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/government-opens-wallet-mosgiel-inland-port" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/government-opens-wallet-mosgiel-inland-port</a><a href="https://mastodon.nz/@craftygardennz" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@craftygardennz</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/@BigD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@BigD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/@Antigrav" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Antigrav</a><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/InlandPort" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InlandPort</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Otago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Otago</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Dunedin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dunedin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/PortChalmers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PortChalmers</a>

BigDMakes a lot of sense. Rail vs trucks as well as solar powered buildings.Construction giant Calder Stewart has proposed a "$3 billion" solar-powered inland port it says will boost Otago's export capacity and create hundreds of jobs.The 'Milburn Quadrant development', north of Milton, would span over 200ha in total and host a 55ha inland port that connected directly to State Highway 1 and the South Island's main trunk rail line, a statement issued this morning said. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/port" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#port</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/inlandport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inlandport</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/otago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#otago</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/solarroofs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solarroofs</a> '$3 billion' Otago inland port proposal revealed <a href="https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/560948/3-billion-otago-inland-port-proposal-revealed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/560948/3-billion-otago-inland-port-proposal-revealed</a>

🍇stevoo🍇"each Covid infection is playing Russian Roulette with disability" <a href="https://zeroes.ca/@broadwaybabyto" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@broadwaybabyto</a> Our buildings need sci-fi retrofitting with air polishers. It's a charity thing to do I think. Funny tech, potentially cheap, needs: - connection to buildings where people we don't want to brain damage etc are - the impeller well housed outside, having more machines around needs to be done carefully... - electrics, ducting, fed with a big sheet of n95 filter stuff somewhere sometimes.
