Invercargill is the southernmost
city on the South Is of NZ.
It has several claims to fame
but bloody cold is a memory.
It is the the residential suburb of the Tiwai Point smelting plant.
In summer, think afternoons
lazing with white sparkling and fabulous "bluff oysters".
Jacinda has gone big time for renewables.
However ingot aluminium has been described as "solid electricity".
But when the sun don't and wind don't (Tiwi is bloody windy as well as ball tearing cold).
Rio Tinto has decided to stop fighting the windmills - like Don Quixote
Sadly 3000 jobs lost.
Entire southern tip community destroyed.
Of course the comments reflect on workers at Tiwai.
But there is only the oysters and sheep left.
This crisis has more legs
