Yes, it's Ohaaki Geothermal Power Station, which is a one-of-a-kind in NZ, with the 105m natural draft cooling tower. Yes, you could hide a little nuclear power station in there, and nobody would know...

It funny with many off the kids cereals in the late 1960s and into early 1970s they went on about how great the Geothermal programs for using natural resources and how they recon they could tap more out off it , arr those little cards and pictures , come the late 1970s Oooph's , that all changed real quick , arr the propaganda from a Weetbix box.
