Hydroelectric dams and canals are great. People like them [mostly]. They make nice lakes, and the canal I helped build in the Twizel area is now used for salmon farming, as well as carrying water to another hydroelectric lake. NZ is geographically excellent but the people are not. It is increasingly going bad as bludgers proliferate, producers leave and the kleptocratic suffocatocracy of Big Brother looms ever larger grabbing more and more and more and more loot from the producers. Welfare is the main business now. Unfortunately, the hydroelectric lakes along the Waikato river are going to be destroyed when Taupo erupts [lake Taupo] as will the Huntly thermal power station, along with the transmission lines from further south and New Plymouth. So Auckland will be with very little electricity for years. Shipments of portable generators from overseas will be big business. But with much of the Waikato farming area destroyed, incomes will be greatly depleted. Tourism will halve. Debts are booming at over $1 billion per month [with only 4 million lowish GDP people, of whom only 1 million are producers]. NZ$ is way up. Short NZ$ to make a quick buck. Mqurice
