    next issue is power generation, most of our juice comes from hydro and i'm pretty happy about that, what these muppets dont realise is that the more energy (electric) you want the more water has to flow.
    at present a dam may have 8 turbines, in the day it runs 5 with 3 spare for heavy loading (super cold nights/hot days when people run heat pumps) at night most people go home so industrial use goes down and demand goes down
    now start adding everyone charging up their electric car at night and those turbines need to be run all the time
    end result hydro will not supply the electricity required
    I was told that our dams do not have the Penstock / Turbine capacity to use all of the incoming water in an 'average' recharge year. Therefore water is spilt down the Waitaki and never used for generation. Is this true.

    I agree the 300WM is a formidable stag slaying machine A330 driver. No stag can withstand it's power. But hunting, as 270 owners know is not all about blasting the quarry; it is also about the joy of the sounds of the bush and hearing the stags themselves …..something made difficult with tinnitus

    From what I have seen there has been no apology, but there has been no Eugenie Sage either.....Like she has disappeared into the office and refuses to come out....

    Because we are now in the winding down phase from the earlier intense forum action that lead to the climax of the TV announcement - so we are now in the after-play stage to use a coital analogy

    have read elsewhere that the chopper purchase story is 99.9% BS, but given this gubments record for spending up big time to achieve targets, nothing would surprise me
