| #10 It must be the work of CEO'S at The Trojan Horse Edison Company. Could these brownouts/blackouts be a trial run for the Olympic Games? It will real be lousy stuck in a Greek hotel and no A/C! |

| #7 Before I laugh at power outages in Greece,I remember the Northeast losing power recently,and here in Tampa Bay,Fl. we will lose power for a few minutes a few times each summer.What I will laugh at is Greece being awarded Olympics years ago and assorted(mainly Socialist)Governments waiting til last second to begin work and now scrambling to finish.If you could get camera crews to follow the officials in charge of construction 24hrs./day you'd have a huge comedy hit. |

| #4 Oh for god's sake. The power-loss earlier doesn't even compare to the one mentioned now -- the earlier one had pretty much involved half of Greece and lasted more than two hours, atleast where I live. This one now involved what -- a couple of apartment blocks, plus the Acropolis rock? First I heard of it is in this article here. And snark, it's not the electrical infrastracture that's the problem. From what I've gathered it seems that the new government (which I did *NOT* vote for btw) drove away many of the most experienced folk working for the electrical power company -- (which is state-owned). And put inexperienced folk in their place. That big powerloss was human blunder, not an infrastructural problem. |

| #3 How does Greece's electrical infrastructure compare with Iraq's? (Pre- or post-Saddam... heck make it Pre- to make it easier.) |
