poweralert stage 2.....

[lexity]

Correction - that was a breakaway group

Confederate States of America - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

No you're right... it was a Confederacy before it became a Federacy.

Prior to the 7-state secession, in 1861, the US was not the perfect article, but the State was far more limited than it became, with Lincoln's dictatorial ways.

Lincoln pledged his support for a constitutional amendment that would have made it illegal for the government to interfere with slavery, ever. This he made clear in his first inaugural address.

He also threatened bloodshed and invasion to anyone failing to continue paying tax due to them seceding.

Anyway, let's leave it there because it's slightly off-topic.

Eskom middlemen cause 3 stages of load-shedding – Ramokgopa

Electricity Minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, recently bemoaned the effect "middlemen" have on Eskom's procurement of strategic components.

Sounds likely to be factual, but also interesting how this minister of electric tricks suddenly has so many of the answers and the way forward. Sure

Honestly, at this point, I don't care if a bunch of rats in an overcoat are running the show. Power to whoever can keep the power on

1690MW quite a drop
Though the power alert was higher and seems to look more like the peak in peak sent out at 28GW weird wonder if that's actually the figure we need to look at

Is shift really the word you're looking for?

 

[Brian_G]

1690MW quite a drop

maybe someone realised it was looking too good

 

[Brian_G]

At this stage I believe nothing they say is accurate.

1690 divide 6 = 281,6666666666667

 

[Lupus]

1690 divide 6 = 281,6666666666667

I mean if we're going to make numbers up

That's more than all 3 powerships combined plus the fourth and fifth backup.
