Sounds like California, with power cuts, instead.

Years of lack of COMPETENT maintenance and ENTROPY will have its way — things will fall apart.

Ain’t Socialism grand?

It’s “Atlas Shrugged”.

The plane was above the peaks of the skyscrapers when suddenly, with the abruptness of a shudder, as if the ground had parted to engulf it, the city disappeared from he face of the earth. It took them a moment to realize that the panic had reached the power stations -- and that the lights of New York had gone out.

They might have recovered from their self-inflicted oil industry catastrophe if they hadn't destroyed their hydro industry at the same time. Now even the Russians are giving up. The Party has sucked the country dry and is now waiting for somebody from the outside to sustain it. Since the list of entities who might be able to do that is peppered with entities they've already ripped off, that might prove to be a long wait.

Socialism destroyed that country in a very short amount of time. It’s no different than states like California,NY and NJ that are now failed states.

Isn’t that interesting; the governor of California has pretty much promised the very same thing. But will the Statehouse or the CA King’s mansion go dark, you ask?

Venezuela had this problem before too.

My mind says it was a turbine problem that shut down everything and then it clicks over to a switch yard problem. Can’t remember which.

Then ther is the nagging memory of needing to bring in outside assistance but not having the money to pay. And then the thought of Russians coming in to patch it up.

I wonder if the Russians that come bring their own tools?

Around 80% of Venezuela’s grid is served by hydropower.

Interesting.
