Electric chickens are the future?
Jesse talks to a chicken farmer from Tirau, who has made the switch to electrification of his farm. It comes as the first full inventory of New Zealand fossil fuel machines was released this week as part of The Machine Count project. It found there are around 10 million of them, and that it is technically possible and cost effective to electrify 84 percent of the machines currently available in New Zealand. It also found another 10 percent could be electrified if we made more effort to make better options available.
