    Looks like Govt have given Rio the two finger farewell. Great. The trick will be getting these b...stds to clean the site up when they leave. I expect if their 'bluff' has truly been called they'll 'mothball' the site, dump the dross and skip the country. We've had quakes shootings covid..this is small-fri now. Wonder if Hamilton etc al are still smiling ?.
    Woods and Robertson have said bye Rio..

    Just found out the news, what is the consensus here, further falls, or a bounce when everything calms down

    Would make a great base for the film industry, great set for horror films etc

    i dont get how CEN are saying that transmission costs have been subsidized by NZAS
    Well maybe but power costs are being subsidized by all of NZ and thats heaps more than the transmission costs

    we subsidize them more than they subsidize us ?
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

    My understanding is that transmission capacity is currently not there to move this excess electricity away from the deep South. So what really changes in the main markets further North?

    Wonder how the Bluff Oysters will respond.
    Also the seafood in general will improve massively.... less aluminium.

    The power consumption by Tiwai is enormous.

    Be good to start some giant glass houses... build a large airport. Fly the quality food produce directly to Aus and Asia...

    Giant aqua culture farms...
    Get some aquaponic set up.

    My thoughts went. Less demand for power.
    Manapouri supply is majorly consumed by Tiwai (from memory)

    Close down less profitable power stations. And Or the ones using non renewable resources.

    Ullrich Aluminium ... where do they get their material from?

    Apologies won't/ haven't read all posts on thread. I am probably repeating information.

    Big call if they go. Big Movie set 🤣. It would be pretty big. Mad max style.

    Oh, the places you'll go ...
