Hello TODers, The Law of Diminishing Returns helping to force Olduvai Gorge is kicking-in into Abaco and Greece: jonesbahamas.com --------------- Blackouts Damaging Abaco's Economy Ivar Unhgem, proprietor of Scandi Homes & Scandi Woodworks in Marsh Harbour, Abaco yesterday told the Bahama Journal that his business suffered a power outage from 11am to 4:30pm Thursday, which he said is generally "an everyday occurrence." "It is a disaster. It is bad. When the power goes out we have to shut down..... People have started having problems with their freezers and refrigerators and so this is really is a problem. And we have a lot of tourists here who are basically packing up and leaving to go back home because they just cannot deal with it." At the time, he pointed out that the two principal electrical generators were both down, one with "very serious problems," which could take upwards of two weeks to resolve. "The problem appears to center on poor maintenance and upkeep." ------------ Greece may be next: -------------------- Greek consumers of electrical power should brace themselves for a difficult summer. Yesterday's accident at the Ptolemaida power plant in northern Greece will intensify pressure on the already-strained electricity supply. Power blackouts, which were already expected, will become more common and problems with Greece's power grid should increase by the year. Consumer needs are growing and the gap between supply and demand is deepening. The Public Power Corporation has shied away from investments in electricity production as well as distribution. At the same time, plans to deregulate the country's energy sector, which could ease demand on the state-controlled corporation, have stalled. --------------------------- ekathimerini.com Bob Shaw in Phx,AZ Are Humans Smarter than Yeast? theoildrum.com
