From scratch? My guess if you went with South Korea, maybe $100B NZD. 2 plants, 4 units each . That would probably sort 50-60% of your power for the next 100 years.

Itβs NZ weβre talking about and we under invest in infrastructure, without future proofing anything, so that would be 1 plant with 2 units for $12b?
Yeah 50 was too cheap any. 100 might be close.
NZ has got earthquakes and volcanoes though. Talk about RC issues

The beauty of this country is our widget. We used to be highly regarded for our clean green stance. But to look around the country, weβve dropped our standards

South Korea will be wanting a substantial down payment after scrapping their ferries they were constructing for us

Weβre used to it. When you travel overseas, NZ is still stunning.
It is, but compared to where? Lot more stunning landscapes out there, but we're a reasonably safe country for tourists comparative to a lot of places.

Visited Hawaii earlier this year. Went expecting a tropical paradise but South Islands better!
Plus we have laid back friendly people, unique flora and fauna, mΔori culture, etc.
One of the few places in the world you can ski in the morning and surf in the afternoon with a dip in a mud pool on the way through!
Yea itβs not a small backwards country anymore - more crime, people, problems, etc, but the fundamentals donβt change.

The Vogtle 4 reactor in Georgia, US, cost $USD 30 billion ($NZD 48 billion) to build and it would provide power to 500,000 houses (around 1/4 of NZ households). That's a cost of $NZD 96,000 per household to build.... slightly more than solar at $8,000 - $15,000 per household (depending on the number of panels and batteries).
Bloody freezing down here half the year though mate, that won't change. Good for winter sports but we'll never offer what the mediterranean can with the climate and thousands of years of history. Landscapes and mΔori culture are about our only uniqueness. And fecken hobbits.

Weβve been big in adventure tourism but competition worldwideβs catching up.
Our landscape is world leading - mountainous, volcanic, geothermal, lakes, glaciers, etc.
I think our biggest asset is we have such a world class variety in close proximity. You can travel a few hours and have really different and unique experiences, more so than most of the world.
One issue I have is we targeted the high end (didnβt want freedom campers shitting everywhere) but the high end have ultra high standards that weβve struggled to cater to (lack of high end accomodation, etc). Need more quantity again in a sustainable way.

Same lawyers who did crown and defence lawyers who did the Grace Millane trial.
That defence was pretty nasty in that one.
* I hadn't had my coffee quite yet. The Crown and Defence Lawyers were the same as the Grace Millane trial.
