Kuwait Electricity

KUWAIT-RATIONALIZATION Kuwait's power rationalization cmte holds 3rd meeting
KUWAIT, June 16 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's Executive Committee to rationalize electricity and water consumption met Saturday under chairmanship of Ministry of Electricity and Water undersecretary Yousif Al-Hajri.The Ministry said in a statement that the committee members focused on procedures and plans to decrease consumption of power supplies during peak periods.Recommendation to reduce electricity loads was also on the agenda of the meeting today, indicated the statement.

And today I found a notice on my apartment door providing a list of suggestions on how to save electricity. Looks like Kuwait is not providing all the electricity it needs to support all the new buildings. On my drive to and from work and just looking out my window I can seel all kinds of new buildings going up. Why would you build more buildings when you don't have the electrical generation capacity for what is already built? Poor planning....

i love the irony of the translation where they confused "rationing" with "rational"
