Bermuda's #1 Forum

Just wondering if Belco have started their rolling blackouts yet? My landlord came down this morning to tell me to expect power outage today between 9 and 4. Not sure if this is for maintenance or this is the start of rolling blackouts.

There's no program of blackouts as such, just an increased possibility of "load shedding" because the plant capacity is reduced at the moment. If your place is up Granaway Heights way it's off for maintenance.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Lab is offline.

Peak oil?

Suggest the following (long) read linked.  It's an eye opener and reality check, but could very well not be the reason digiguy is out today.

Future generations will look back and marvel about the one time bounty of complex molecules... "they just burnt it".   :dunce:

... oh and sorry, Fortunate Son, welcome to the forum.  Thanks for your insight.   :)

Thanls for the welcome, may i however counter the peak oil argument with this one:

Bit long winded but interesting nontheless

And yes, I am in the Granaway Heights area. Power was restored at the expense of our fresh water pump.
It had kicked in and remained running without being primed for hours. Fortunately, he's resourceful and had a replacement installed in about two hours.

Thanks for the opposing view to peak oil FS, but I'm afraid I've got to apply my standard rule: if you read it on the Internet, assume it is a lie.

I just don't buy the idea that Methane can be converted to the complex petrochemical molecules we know as oil.

@ DG2K - too bad about the pump, that sucks!  Have a karma point on me; I know it doesn't help pay for the replacement, but take it as a token of good will.   :)
