As listening to the morning news on the radio, there are signs of a looming powercrisis for this coming winter in NZ.

The hydro lakes are at 72% of normal water level, The aluminium melter in the Bluff is already reducing demand to allowe for more water storage.

The interesting part is what excuses our politicians will come up with this time, e.g. mandatory power savings, increased tariffs, TV advice commercials, etc.

I will keep this thread updated as matters progress and no doubt Trumpy will add his part to it as well.

Lets see what happens for our winter in 2006
