New Zealand's largest power station is in our town, and in 2018 the last 2 coal burning generators are being shut down, cutting it's 953 megawatts down to 450 with the gas powered 400 and 50 MW units still running. The 2 large chimneys have dominated the landscape for 40 years, and they will come down too. We might have trouble finding our way home.
Our coal company has gone broke, they have invented a new term but they will still opperate the mines running at a loss, but eventually will shut down...unless they get a buyer.
From the front, today.
From the back, a few months ago.
