Default APAGONES can put this country upside down

I feel that more and more people are getting really mad at the government because the "apagones " aren't getting solved ..

There were already some street riots in Barahona . and others seem prepared to come out in the streets against the government if these elctricity cuts aren't solved .. Some areas only have electricity 4 hours a day ..

Only one question How could this affect the country ? Could this not result in a kind of revolution if the government doesn't take real actions to get this solved ? or should we only think about the metro ?

hugoke01,

I agree that apagones can put this country upside down. The Group Millennium Hispaniola is working with the goal to change that. Look at josé45 messages in all forum to get a taste of how to get out of the mess we are in. Try looking at the GMH blog to see our suggestions.

as my cousin Vito says, fuggedaoboudit!. Apagones have and will rule the country for a long time. Most of the electrical system is not organized or policed well. The best way to counter the electricity debacle is to farm your own electric, whether by generator or by gazeelion battery inverter.

Default Nothing will be done...

but complain. When I was down there I was getting ****ed at the apagones too, but everyone down there is too scared to do anything about it, so they just take it in stride. Just think of it as a reason to go to the corner colmado and get drunk.

Sheesh, when Hippo was in office and ruining the country for the next 4 generations all you guys did was burn a few stankin tires.

He is out of office and NOT IN JAIL. You people won't do a darn thing other than run your mouths. The only reason there are electric problems is because people make money because of it. Take away the graft and corruption in your system and you would have 24/7 electric. All you do is keep digging an endless hole by permitting it.

quejeyoke: I would agree with you, were it not that the excesive individual solutions have a large market value opportunity. So large, that DR is one of the best places in the world to develop Demand Response technology. I agree that "it is not organized or policed well." That is why we need the political parties out of the electricity business. The vicious circle of individual solutions, can lead to a virtuous circle of electric retail liberalization. The NorthAmerican community can help us with their strong voice.

I have to agree with you Escott, except that most of the corruption comes from outside. Please be careful with generalization. I did not burn any stinking tires: among other things, I showed that by using taken experts, a USAID led electric power analysis and reform consensus was invalid, since it missed the input from the customers. I call that The Pending Task for a Valid Consensus in the GMH blog.
