They have the oil for diesel. They could afford a modern hydro plant. Most financial institutions are required to have backup for essential operations, with a cutover within 10 seconds. what % of buildings in America have generators? how many have ever gone without power for more than 2days? other than hurricane zones and some rural farms,i doubt many have a backup. why should we the power never goes out. even those with generators,need fuel.how long til they run out? This also..I guess this is what is giving me anxiety..I lived very near Browns Ferry in Alabama in 2011..tornado took out two TVA towers and everyone within pretty much a 30?? mile or so radius didn't have power for a week. The local hospital transported at risk patients to other facilities. Pretty sure because of the whole nation being affected, places in Venezuela are not able to do this. The hospital and police department had generators, nowhere else.. P.D. took priority..hospital ran them only at night and allowed residents to stay there overnight and had officers from neighboring cities as security...slept on the floor of the lobby several nights..pretty sure this is not the case in Venezuela..during the day, neighbor was not fighting against neighbor. It was a very small rural town. The neighborhood got together, had cookouts..didnt have a grill, so I learned how to dig a fire pit and make coffee and cook outdoors using a rack from my electric oven. We only had a quarter tank of gas and held onto it.. others had tried to go places..everything shut down within like I said for a 30 or so mile radius. Also roads were closed the first day or two due to damage. Only emergency vehicles allowed in or out..Our house was shifted off its foundation. I am very grateful I lived where I lived...we stuck together, as small towns tend to do. My anxiety comes from "yeah, this happenned..I was in a small town where everybody knew everybody..it was difficult, we made it.. but what if this happened to the whole US??".. lessons learned..I would bet even most larger cities here don't have much in the way of backup power or even a backup plan. Why I'm getting my stuff together.....finalizing a backup plan. Last Edited by CatWhisperer on 03/10/2019 03:30 PM CatWhisperer |

Spooky is effective against any crowd of personnel. Venezuela's air force is a joke, they have 32 SU-30's and 16 F-16's. A Single Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is more than capable of neutralizing Venezuela's entire air defense not even taking into account the support aircraft located at American bases in the region. Let's just pray it doesnt come to that. "Tempus Fugit" |

How would YOU fare under such circumstances? Do you have an Emergency Electric Generator to keep your refrigerator operating so as not to lose all your food? Yes. Two of them, in fact. 50 gallons, stabilized, rotated annually. Dozens, along with basic siphoning tools. Do you have Emergency Water stored (1 gallon, per person, per day, for at least two weeks?) Quoting: NYC-Beat Reporter 90 days. Without rationing. Do you have a gravity-fed water filter in case your water runs out and you need to get water from a river or stream? Quoting: NYC-Beat Reporter Lifestraws. But we are on a well/septic system and I can run the well pump with one of the generators. 90 days, not counting fishing or hunting. As we here in the USA watch the horror unfolding in Venezuela, it would do us well to realize IT COULD HAPPEN HERE. Quoting: NYC-Beat Reporter It's not a matter of COULD. It's a matter of WHEN. People better drop some of their nationalistic pride and wake up to that fact. The US is one computer virus away from becoming a third world country at any given moment. 72 hours into a national blackout such as what Venezuela is experiencing right now, and you won't recognize your country any more. YES!!..What I'm trying to scream right now.. amongst the deafening din of rhetoric, blame and judgement...thank you!! CatWhisperer |

All countries protect their interests and that's what motivates them not some sense of right or wrong. That's the sad but ugly truth. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77167157 None are angels. But it is only the US govt who are saying they are the humanitarians, they are motivated by right vs wrong, and not self interest. It is only the US govt who claims they are acting purely out of altruism, democracy and freedom for others, and not self interest. For this reason the US lacks honour. Reminds me of when America said they had to intervene in Libya for 'humanitarian' reasons, then bombed the water pipelines in Libya, followed by bombing the factories which manufacture the water pipes. |
