HARARA, May 13 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe has started rolling power cuts lasting up to eight hours that will also hit mines, a schedule from the state power utility showed on Monday, after reduced output at both the largest hydro plant and ageing coal-fired generators.

The power cuts will add to mounting public anger against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government as Zimbabweans grapple with an economic crisis that has seen shortages of U.S. dollars, fuel, food and medicines as well as soaring inflation that is eroding earnings and savings.

“happens every summer in Venezuela of the West, California.”

It will be worse this summer and early fall.

PGE has just sent out announcements, paid for ads on tv/fish wraps that there will a lot of rolling blackouts even before fires are happening and during actual fires and after some fires.

California faces the same fate when the winds blow too hard. Don’t want to burn the state down, yaknow.

Craziness is sitting in cold, dark houses when resources to fuel a state are all around and below our very feet.

Even Mugabe will have to cut back on his energy usage but I bet Newsome doesn’t slow down his travels a bit.

It’s so good to hear from the middle school debate team. You guys rule the world.

Wow, you really "blew me out of the water" with that dismantling of my argument!

Um, no... actually, you didn't address my logic at all.

Regards,

The inflation in Venezuela is more proof that economic growth doesn’t cause inflation.

The inflation in Iran is more proof that economic growth doesn’t cause inflation.

The stagflation in the US that we had in the 1970’s is more proof that economic growth doesn’t cause inflation.
