How the Axis of Evil made my lights work

"Managua, Jun 22 (Prensa Latina) Nicaragua´s energy service will stabilized by the first trimester of next year, President Daniel Ortega affirmed, and reiterated the country will resort to thermal plants to face the current power deficit.

According to the president, along with the generators to be supplied by Cuba, Venezuela, and Taiwan, the country is likely to receive others by Iran, where he traveled last week.

Cuba and Venezuela already provided 32 generators with capacity to produce 60 megabytes per hour, and promised to supply a similar amount early next year.

Power generation deficit in Nicaragua worsened in the last few days, after interruptions in several generating units, resulting in up to ten-hour blackouts.

Ortega denounced the energy crisis is due to lack of management in the last 16 years of neoliberal governments which privatized the sector and cut off investments."

From here.

So, how are those apagones coming along? Funny how those generators that Uncle Hugo provided ain't up to snuff, isn't it? Jajajajaja!!!! Well, when the barge from Florida Power arrives, maybe you'll have a respite.

I understand you are back in Nicaragua for the first time in 32 years. I can guess where your sympathies lie.
