| 803295 | 2009-08-21 11:16:00 | A simple example of things going wrong just above, ^^^^ and there is a timer on this site that is supposed to stop this problem of duplicate posting by anxious posters who are trigger/mouse button happy. Again, I rest my case. It all seems so simple really doesn't it, somebody, but it absolutely is NOT. Infallible systems just don't exist, it's a form of perfection really and we all know that only exists in our minds and of course with god. lol. |

| 803297 | 2009-08-21 11:23:00 | Try this for just one more and there other examples:- www.nytimes.com But what is wrong with generating the power where it is needed like in Auckland rather than transmitting the said power from where I live to where you live. Lake Delton not a hydro power supply dam only a damn dam made for recreational use like water skiing.. |

| 803300 | 2009-08-21 11:29:00 | Unfortunately the simpletons designing damns could not work out a simple scheme to get the river to where people seem to wish to live. Purely as a stop-gap measure they instead they put the dams in places where people largely do not want to live, like river beds, and took the coward's way out by moving the electricity instead. As it happens, a lot of the electricity is intended for lights, so it does not weigh much, and can move quite fast too. Once you have got the fine detail of your scheme developed, please submit the engineering calculations and drawings to the relevant authority where they can be filed under miscellaneous/lost for a while. You may even qualify for Ginsu knives if you ring early enough and mention PF1 |

| 803303 | 2009-08-21 11:40:00 | French pass would be a starter have swum through there on a tide extremely mega exciting. And I do not think that French Pass is anywhere near Auckland so therefore you may need longer wires and the continuing operation of the Cook Strait cable. |

| 803304 | 2009-08-21 11:44:00 | Could you just refresh my memory on what the other dams use? :thanks I idea of a dam is to store water and use it according to supply and demand. The Waihopai dam just filled to the top with gravel and ceased to be a storage dam. They can only use what water is available in summer (bugger all) and in big rain events the water goes over the edge. I hope that explains a dam gone wrong. |
