It ends when you make your own power. Just like how you have to pay for private schools, hospitals and security...

Investments...

We don’t have a lack of power plant problem we have an over zealous maintenance problem. How the hell do you remove so many units for maintenance, when the rest are buckling . Damn take units offline for maintenance but don’t cripple the system to do it

No difference between stage 4 and 6 for us tomorrow.

6:00 to 8:00
14:00 to 18:00
22:00 to 0:00

Today the '4 hour session' lasted from 7:15 to 15:25. Just in time for the 16:00 to 18:00 session to start.

Holding thumbs it comes back at 18:00.
