Main article: Wairakei Power Station

With several natural geysers, hot pools and boiling mud pools, it is also the home of the Wairakei Power Station, a major geothermal electric power generating station. The station was the second large-scale geothermal facility worldwide, and was commissioned in 1958. It was listed in the book 70 Wonders Of The Modern World published in 2000 by Reader's Digest to record The Eventful 20th Century.[1]

Settlement [link]

The settlement, referred to as Wairakei Village, was constructed to house the workers of both the power station and the neighbouring Aratiatia hydro power station.

Breaking Up With God

by: Ark

Aooo-ooooh
Aooo-ooooh
Thought I headed straight
Thought I had it waiting for me
Thought it was my fate
I was only waiting for the sky to fall down
The sword of Damocles
Or at least I thought it was
Had me on my knees
That's when I saw it had the shape of a cross
Aooo-ooooh
I'm ready to give it up (up up up up up up..)
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
A world that's black and white
Has evil haunting every corner
Demons in the night
And no love, no love for the one who ain't right
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aaaah aaah aaah
Aaaah aaah aaah
(We'll lead you home...)
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
I heard their call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aoooo
Now I wanna touch you right away
Aoooo, oooh
Find my own heaven alive
Aooo-ooooh
