Freezing in the Dark

New Zealand power outages.

Earlier today Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she wants to find out if last night’s loss of power to thousands of North Island homes could have been prevented but “it was not good enough that we could not warm our homes”.

Ardern said they should know more about what happened this afternoon.

Transpower earlier today said Kiwis were close to another power crisis this morning after tens of thousands of Kiwis were plunged into darkness last night.

General manager of operations Dr Stephen Jay told the Herald he couldn’t rule out any further disruption to the network, stating “the emergency is far from over”.

“Things are running tight. Supplies have been running to the wire this morning.”

Fun fact, New Zealand currently produces 84 percent of its electricity from renewable sources. But that’s not enough for their Prime Minister. 

How cold does it actually get in New Zealand?

The fascist government of China has rejected the appeal of a Canadian convicted of drug smuggling. Whether its true or not that he was involved with drug smuggling, we do know that his original sentence was changed from 15 years to the death sentence when the Huawei executive was detained. No word from Dear Leader yet, as he is taking another day off at Harrington Lake. By the way, the media seems silent on that confidential meeting they were to have with the Liberal government yesterday about the election campaign. Another day on Turtle Island.
