User ID: 79224361 Australia 10/09/2021 09:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lebanon has been left without electricity, plunging the country into darkness amid a severe economic crisis. A government official told Reuters news agency the country's two largest power stations, Deir Ammar and Zahrani, had shut down because of a fuel shortage. The power grid "completely stopped working at noon today" and was unlikely to restart for several days, he said. [link to www.bbc.com (secure)] India is on the brink of an unprecedented power crisis. More than half of the country's 135 coal-fired power plants are running on fumes - as coal stocks run critically low. In a country where 70% of the electricity is generated using coal, this is a major cause for concern as it threatens to derail India's post-pandemic economic recovery.

Not because of lack of coal, but from traitorous moves to "Clean Energy" and raising power prices artificially to fund them. We have virtually unlimited supplies of high calorific value coal, and clean burn technology, BUT pay prices up around world's highest. If EVERY man, woman and child in OZ disappeared tomorrow, it would have ZERO EFFECT on "Climate Change", a fact completely overlooked by the power mongers here. Stay well. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 80720333 Guatemala 10/09/2021 10:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No one anywhere is immune to power loss. We just took delivery of a new open frame inverter generator. We now have 3 generators and a large supply of fuel for emergencies. Why 3? The new inverter gen set is good for sensitive electronics and appliances, runs quiet and is fuel efficient. Another gen set runs the AC, lights and water pumps. The other is a backup in case one breaks down and can't be repaired. The past winter here in Texas was brutal and many lost power for an extended period. We lost power for a week. Our generators kept the lights on, the freezers and water pumps running and our internet connection active. |
