Power for the people

- New Zealand’s growing population means we need to generate a lot more power
- We’ve got to go nuclear
- If we don’t want more fossil fuel plants then greenies need to look at the big picture and sacrifice a few valleys and hills
These are opinions I’ve heard increasingly often in the last few years but they are not really based on the facts, or smart thinking.
New Zealand’s electricity demand doubled in about the last 25 years. So in another 25 years, will we need twice as much power again? I hope not.
