Jay, have Chinese had Globalstar marketing training or something? Haven't they heard of using price to control demand? <(b) Hangzhou: Power supply to every enduser including traffic light is stopped for 2 days after every 5-day;> The problem can be solved immediately by putting up the price of electricity. I'm happy to help you understand this sophisticated concept so you can advise your clients. When there's a big surplus, you sell it cheaply to increase demand. When there's a big shortage, you increase the price to reduce demand. Easy peasy. They haven't figured this out in California or New Zealand either, so I guess there's no hope for China. There is something about electricity which gets governments excited. They love to dabble in it and control it and take the profits. But maybe you can help them see the light, and switch it on. From a money point of view, if it's true that the rembi is too low compared with the US$, the China government could pixelate 500 billion new rembis and go shopping with them for new power stations. That'll dilute the existing rembis, solving the worry about the rembis being too high in value, and also provide a lot of electricity so prices can be lowered to "very profitable", thereby increasing total profits [by selling a lot more electricity albeit at lower margins] while enabling vastly increased production of other things. Please send me a 1% royalty [on each kilowatt hour] for this idea. Mqurice
