It appears like the city has been without power for the past 12 hours.
How pathetic is that? One of the largest cities in the Caribbean region and it's people have no power.
Fortunately I have the luxury of a planta and an inverter, but that's not the case for the majority.
The President is running around the globe talking up computers in schools, double digit growth, the Metro etc etc. Yet a good % of the capital city is under candle light.
After living here for a number of years, I'm now 100% convinced that the electricity situation will never be resolved while Dominicans are involved in the negotiating of new contracts or finding a "real" solution. I know that sounds bad, but it's true.
What's sader, is seeing educated more affluent Dominicans totally apathetic to the situation and some agreeing with me.
I don't have the solution, but I know it does not lie in any of the minds in this country.
Please import some Europeans, Americans, even a few Puerto Ricans to help this country out!!!
