Public employees will only have to work six hours a day until further notice, and police units will be sent to inspect private businesses to ensure they only use their allotted amounts. Venezuelan Vice President Jorge Arreaza blamed the measures on climate change.

The Venezuelan government is responsible for providing electricity in the socialist nation, and concerns that power is running out in the OPEC nation have triggered alarm that power may be next on a list of basic scarcities in Venezuela that include milk, laundry detergent, and vegetable oil.

...

Vice President Arreaza also made a bizarre call for the use of “autogenerated” electricity to reduce demand on the government’s plants. “Both the public sector as well as large [private] consumers should opt for autogeneration,” he said in the statement announcing the new plan. “That is to say, that they use their own equipment and plants to generate electricity, especially in peak hours, and not use the National System.”

They should blame Hugo Chavez. They squandered resources to fund their political activities and absolutely failed to make infrastructural improvements for the last 15 years.

They were warned about this many times.

Stoopid. Just pass a law saying climate change doesn't apply to Venezoolia. Simple.

Whadda you think all those smart thermostats are for?

Yup. Easier than sending a guy to your meter to shut it off several times a day. Or permanently.

Just blame everything on Gremlins. It makes as much sense.

One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.

Sounds like the Vennies have been listening to Pope Frank’s propaganda a little too much.
