The moral of the story is to buy local, in-season fruit and vegetables. Google Assistant pipes into the conversation: “According to tables assembled by the UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (DBEIS) for 2020, one tonne of long haul airfreight creates 1.13382 kilograms of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas per kilometre travelled. The distance from San Francisco to Auckland is 10,487 kilometres, so one kilogram of grapes airfreighted from California creates approximately 11.8904 kilograms of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas.” THANK YOU, GOOGLE! Marg, it is so creepy the way he listens in on our conversations.” Marg cracks a smile: “How do you know ‘he’ is a he? Google could be a ‘she’, you know. ‘Computer’ is a feminine word in many languages. And don’t try to change the subject – that 500 grams of grapes you just bought created about six kilograms of greenhouse gas.” That’s probably more than driving the Subaru to Picton.”

The UK SMR consortium, led by Rolls-Royce, has announced the latest design and an increase in power - from 440 MW to 470 MW - of its compact nuclear power station. The refreshed design features a faceted aesthetic roof; an earth embankment surrounding the power station to integrate with the surrounding landscape; and a more compact building footprint, the British engineering company said.

The announcement follows the UK s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy opening last week of the Generic Design Assessment to advanced nuclear technologies. The consortium aims to be the first design to be assessed by UK regulators, in the second half of this year, which will keep it on track to complete its first unit in the early 2030s and build up to 10 by 2035.
