I like the steampunked steam engine. It is a shame you didn't have time to spare then, because it might have been fun.

I assume, from context, that the power station is hydroelectric? It seems likely that in the medium term, places with a good proportion of hydroelectric in the mix of electricity generation are likely to fare better, economically, than average.

Yep. Massive hydro. NZ is justifiably proud of having about 54% of its entire generating capacity as hydro, and 67% as renewables. (South Island is almost 100% renewables.)

I totally loved the steampunk steam engine! I ran out of the car towards it shrieking "OMG, it's the Iron Council!". I'd love to see the rest of the museum - and we will, oh yes - but I can't help but think that I've already seen the best bit.
