Lebanon's National Electricity Grid Totally Collapses
2021-10-10

...the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity™, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade...
's national electricity grid totally collapsed on Saturday, after the al-Zahrani and Deir Amar power plants stopped operating due to a lack of diesel, LBCI television said.

The two power plants' separation from the grid lowered national power production to below 200 megawatts forcing the collapse.

Lebanon's state-run electricity firm, Electricite du Liban, was meanwhile "conducting maneuvers to rebuild the national grid manually, amid the absence of the national control center which was destroyed by the Beirut port blast," LBCI added.

#6  #3 Steve, I almost wish you hadn't put that idea into the atmosphere. AOC will probably demand that we spend a trillion shipping electrons to impoverished countries.

#3  those highly publicized tankers of Iran oil weren't enough apparently

Prolly should have sent tankers of electricity instead of oil. You'd need more tankers, of course, because electrons are not as dense as oil.
