Ever been in light aircraft practicing forced landings? the whole country is needlessly criss crossed with them. Well its karma for the dude he has lost his pines if insurance pays him I would be suprised. |

I can sympathize with this farmer as he has been trying to get Transpower to do something for the past five years about these wire close to the trees but the Fwit did buy a farm with wires already in place and trying to get Transpower to remove them after be bought the farm is in cuckoo land.. |

Transpower hasn't and isn't bulldozing anything. They wanted some pylons across. NIMBYS. Whinge, whinge, whinge. But oh yes the screaming if the power stops. No dams, no pylons, no coal stations, no this, no that. Supposedly they are just supposed to make power by magic and beam it into your house without the need for wires. Shoot the farmer. |

Funny you say that, arent they experimenting with microwave power at the moment and plan on beaming it from space?? I think i would rather have the power lines i can see, same with putting them under ground |

| 851736 | 2010-01-25 20:40:00 | Yes very good IDEA, let's put a Nuclear Power Station right in the middle of the Auckland CBD so we can be sure they don't have any more power cuts. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 851737 | 2010-01-25 21:15:00 | Put one in Tokeroa and a Russian built 60s model in Christchurch. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 851738 | 2010-01-25 21:17:00 | Would not bother me having one in Tokoroa at all. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 851739 | 2010-01-25 21:18:00 | Meanwhile bureaucratic back and forth means we won't see a tucking fhing. | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
