We are on a precipice. Solar is the new and plenty of it. Where we build solar is becoming a heated debate ( that is unintentional pun but it is quite apt)
Maniatoto is now facing that challenge too. A large landscape of open country. Ideal you might think for 660 hectares of solar panels.
Oddly enough, one of its small towns, Naseby, just became our latest Dark Sky Community. It also is home to an ice curling rink. Which both need no sun. It's a popular tourist town because of those features.
The McKenzie country will soon face a similar delema. Other parts of the country are and have already.
Electricity generation has a cost and infrastructure to power the insatiable need for energy we demand.

Maniatoto is about to join the rest I fear.

Tom’s Hardware: Open-source tool designed to throttle PC and server performance based on electricity pricing — lightweight CLI will automatically limit clocks during peak hours. “A robotics and machine learning engineer has developed a command-line interface tool that monitors power use from a smart plug and then tunes system performance based on electricity pricing. The simple program, […]
