By night the Swiss buy cheap-rate electricity from their neighbours which they use to pump water into holding reservoirs. By day they use the stored water to generate hydroelectric power which they then sell back to their neighbours at peak-rate prices. (After Christopher Williams /After Jean-Luc Godard)

Opera "By night the Swiss buy cheap-rate electricity from their neighbours which they use to pump water into holding reservoirs. By day they use the stored water to generate hydroelectric power which they then sell back to their neighbours at peak-rate prices. (After Christopher Williams /After Jean-Luc Godard). (Di notte gli svizzeri comprano dai loro vicini elettricità a tariffa ridotta, che usano per pompare acqua nei bacini di contenimento. Di giorno usano l'acqua accumulata per produrre energia idroelettrica, che poi rivendono ai vicini alle massime tariffe. – da Christopher Williams / da Jean-Luc Godard.)" di Simon Starling
