Let There Be Light.....And There Was No Light!

The Maharashtra State Government just declared that due to the power crisis, they are resorting to load shedding. So the whole of Maharashtra will not have electricity for 40 (yes, FORTY!!) hours a week! If this continues, we will see a massive outflow of foreign investment, since other places like China or the Phillipines offer the same cost advantage with MUCH better business continuity infrastructure. That sucks big time. :(

We seem to be regressing to the time where the whole of India ran by the light of a kerosene lamp. And with the price of fuel, I don't think we could afford even that!! So maybe now we will all have to go to bed at sunset (like they do in the villages).

And to think that the Opposition is actually against setting up civilian nuclear power stations to alleviate the electricity crisis that India is going through. Maybe they aren't really opposing it, maybe they are just opposing the fact that this didn't come through when they were in power and they can't take credit for it. Hmmm......I maybe on to something eh?
