Thanks Labour!

The Herald reports:

New Zealanders could find their power cut tomorrow morning just as temperatures are expected to drop below zero after a warning that electricity generation may not keep up with demand.

Power grid operator Transpower issued a warning notice this morning saying there were “insufficient generation offers to meet demand” between 7am and 9am on Friday.

Kiwis have been asked to not use heaters or lights in rooms they are not using, not to charge electronic devices and vehicles and to delay using washing machines, clothes dryers and dishwashers.

This is what happens when the (old) Government failed to ensure we have sufficient electricity generation by banning gas exploration etc.
