**Electricity Crisis: Is there really a shortage
** SOURCE:http://islamkesipahi.wordpress.com/
Electricity produced in Pakistan is from three main sources. 1). Hydal
2). Thermal (Gas/Steam/Furnace Oil)
3). Nuclear

- Hydal Electricity generated by WAPDA varies between two extremities i.e. bewteen minimum of 2414 MW and maximum of 6761 MW depending upon the river flow through the year.
Total Power Generation Capacity of Pakistan (including all sources) is 19855 MW and the electricity demand (as of today 20-04-2010) is 14500 MW and PEPCO is merely generating 10000 MW. Even if we accept the government excuses and lies that suddenly water has finished in the dams then still Pakistan should be producing 13394 MW and obviously not all the water can suddenly disappear, the hydel projects should at the very least be producing 2000 MW out of its 6461 MW capacity and that should still be enough to meet the demand of electricity for the country, however we are still getting load shedding of up 15-20 hours per day, Iran has offered Pakistan electricity at cheap rates and offered 1000 MW for free yet government has even rejected them which shows their intentions.
So it is obvious that these 15-20 hrs power shutdowns in most parts of the country are not because of the lack of generation capacity but only because of the corrupt & incompetent government. Situation could have been better if they really wanted to deliver but now its the time nation should stop expecting from Zardari & its puppet goverment for the solutions. They themselves are the problem and it should not be a surprise for PPP govt if violent anti government protests erupt in major parts of the country.
Now from reliable sources we have learnt that the CIA backed Zadari government is about to start another artificial crisis of gas, water and food where gas like electricity will be stopped in our homes for a number of hours a day followed by a fake water shortage and food shortage. It can be a terrible summer due to these artificial crises sponsored by CIA and its agents in Pakistan, however it should not come as a surprise if this summer the violent anti government protests turn bloody and a revolution emerges, the government is doing all they can to get the population angry once they decide that its, then the time is up for the government.
.. now electricity crises are cause by outside (yahood, hanood, black water) with the help of internal forces (political parties, army, educated lot)
you bore me to death. ignorance is bliss.
