Earth Hour en Venezuela ?

Comentan en facebook que gran parte de Venezuela se encuentra a oscuras por un corte catastrófico de energía...


MSNBC/Reuters reporta que :

Blackouts hit most of Venezuela on Thursday, affecting an oil refinery and the Caracas metro in a growing headache for President Hugo Chavez months after electricity rationing dented his popularity.


The 146,000 barrel-per-day El Palito refinery had to be restarted after the failure and the capital's metro transit system ground to a halt at the beginning of the evening rush hour, forcing thousands of commuters onto the streets.

[...] Throughout 2010, many Venezuelans were subjected to strict electricity and water rationing during a drought attributed to the El Nino weather phenomenon. Combined with an economic slump, the utilities crisis damaged Chavez's popularity.

At the time, Chavez canceled a plan to ration power in Caracas after a chaotic first day of cuts left poor, crime-ridden districts in the dark and workers stuck in elevators.

The national electricity company said via a Twitter message the programed cuts will not affect Caracas, one of the world's most lawless cities.

Sin ánimo de prejuzgar, creo que el responsable es Bush, y por que no, Adam Smith.
