    It'd be worth it though, just to watch the lights go out and all those latte machines turning off.

    I've seen all those latte shops in the Octagon ...

    What he said.

    Both are safe bets for investment and dangerous bets for watching the power bill.

    As for investing in either. If the investors win, NZ loses. If the NZ wins, the investors lose.
    I see no good outcome. Unless you invest enough that your gains in dividends outway your losses in massive power bills.

    I see the Oligarchs doing a buy-back with MRP. So you're fucked now NZ.

    Even better than that. From 3:00 to 3:30 am tomorropw (almost today now) Trans[power are testing the HVDC to control the North island frequency using a south Island generator. I'm disapointed I'm not on night shift for it.

    Within the next week they will be testing control of the South Island frequency using a North island generator. I don't want to be on shift for that one.
