Council of Trade Unions Call for More Electricity Generation

About time New Zealand heard this; the country has done very little to add electricity generation despite the population growing and demand for electricity increasing.

"We spent 30 years consistently underinvesting in rail in New Zealand. Then we privatised and hoped for the best. That failed. We had to bring it back into public ownership, and we're having to reinvest to get it off the ground.

"We're facing exactly the same problem with electricity in New Zealand, we spent a decade or more underinvesting in electricity generation - clean, renewable energy generation in New Zealand, the problems we face are a consequences of those under investment."
