'Hydro lakes low!' "So what are you doing to save energy in this time of crisis Bert?" ...
Date: 2008
From: Evans, Malcolm Paul, 1945- :Digital cartoons
Reference: DCDL-0006800
Description: A 'GOOD EVANS' cartoon. Shows two men in a pub. One of the men is the proprietor and is reading about the hydro lakes being low in the newspaper. He asks a man sitting at the bench with his glass of beer what he is doing to conserve energy and the man replies that he has sold his big car and bought a house closer to the pub. Refers to low rainfall in the South Island meaning that the hydro storage lakes for power generation plants are very low and that therefore there is a danger of power cuts over the winter. The South Island's Waitaki and Clutha power schemes have a combined capacity of more than 2500MW, but their main storage lakes (Tekapo, Pukaki and Hawea) are at about half the level they should be. The little man in the corner comments that 'He's a real Greenie!'. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
