Energy crisis and the environmentalists

[sharkey360]

---

THESE past few weeks, Visayan Electric Company (Veco) corporate communications officer Ethel Natera has been updating members of the media, through text, on the scheduled brownouts in the company’s franchise area. Yesterday, a day-long brownout hit some parts of the province, as Cebu Electric Cooperative placed its power source and transmission lines under preventive maintenance.

The lack of power supply due to the maintenance of the Cebu-Negros-Panay grid is to blame for the recent massive brownouts in the Metro Cebu area. Normal power supply, though, is expected to be addressed within the week. In one occasion, I texted back Ethel and told her to let these so-called environmentalists solve the power shortage. She just laughed.

hay naku! sige ra saba-saba ng mga environmentalists!!!

Sige lang yaw-yaw. walay masuggest na viable solution. renewable sources daw, like wind and solar. beh... sila magdala ug investors diri para magtukod ana. kay the government cant afford those systems pa man.

sabton unta nila na for the time na wala pa ta'y alternative sources of energy... mantinir sa ta ning coal power plants! mas maayo na kesa katong pirming brownouts. puro naggamit ung diesel gensets! mas labaw pa siguro emissions sa linibong gensets na nagandar kesa coal-fired power plant.

naa pud ko'y nakaistorya na taga greenpeace.

anti-mining man pud siya. kesyo daw grabe ang effects sa mining industry sa environment. tubag akong papa, na retired miner, "Naa na mu new discovery unsaon pag extract ug ore from the ground na environmentally friendly? I-suggest dayon sa DENR. Kung wa pa gani, ay na lang mo pagsamok-samok!"

Nahilom ang taga greenpeace. Bwahahaha!
