Sorry,
I forgot that we have the Resource Management Act, that makes REAL business tell folks that they are going to install power plants or Dams near their places.
Project Aqua down here died a death, because they said they would need land and water resources to effect this project.
They offered good compensation, NZ$1-2million per property.
All we heard was whinging from a few empowered folks that said "no way!"
It's just like the upgrade to 400kV here, no-one wanted it, but everyone complains if the power goes off.
NIMBY.
