“This is the second day that something like this has happened. I’ve given instructions that whoever overdraws power will be punished,” Power Minister Sushilkumar Shinde told reporters.

Having visited India the thing that astounds *me* is that there's a single structure in the entire *country* that has electricity in the first place.

600 million people right now are being involuntarily green and planet friendly. If I were the suspicious type, I’d say it was intentional.

Half of India's 1.2 billion people were without power ...
That statement makes it sound like all Indians had power to begin with.
I don't think so ...

This should create a smell detectable in outer space.

The country is a filthy cesspool on the best of days with electricity.

Make sure you never take any medication manufactured in India (or China for that matter) as they know nothing about hygiene.

Also our government needs to stop the H1B visas before this lifestyle contaminates the USA.

India is highly corrupt, which is something that the US could exploit competitively, because businesses who go there have to deal with that corruption.

I know someone who was so besotted in multi-culti ecstasy because he went to a wedding and was the honored father-in-law (which is kind of a god to Hindus, or something). What he saw when he got there was a "nice" part of India and how they got their electricity into their homes...

It was a wooden pole in the middle of the neighborhood with all kinds of jerry-rigged and dangerous looking amateur hookups, splices and wiring. When this bragabond asked why the government electrical inspectors didn't enforce the laws against all this *stolen* electricity, he was told that you just have to pay off the inspectors when they come around.

Of course, you're not reading about how the power people are doing without is stolen in the first place.
