الشركة المشغلة لـ"فاطمة غول": الفيول الذي كان يصلنا لم يكن ملائما

Sorry, this is not the reason.
The real reason is that ALL the Governments of Lebanon over the past 20-30 years have completely ignored the upcoming electricity shortage and didn't build the necessary power stations in time.

In other news, I saw that we are leading the world in the number of hours not getting electricity. We beat out such countries like Somalia, Afghanistan, and Mali.

Well Done Basil--now add that to your list of accomplishments.

All politics aside, M8 is not a good gov.

Someone is pocketing money and perhaps insurance money too. G.B and M. A..... Public thieves.

who in Lebanon expected it to go better than this? M8's performance has been second to none.... if you hold the list upside down.

Nonsense - privatizing is the only guarantee for efficiency. It is the only way to avoid corruption. It can be regulated and at least managed by competent and accountable people not clowns!

Construire des centrales technologiquement dépassées n'est pas très fut-fut.... Et l'avenir dans tout ça? Ou sont les énergies renouvelables? Photovoltaïque, éolienne, etc....

Moi je suis partisan de la politique du pollueur payeur.... Médite là-dessus....

actually dude, you are the brainwashed idiot and are lacking any clues. If you are going to be using electricity or telecom aa primary sources of revenue to run your country and pay your minions, then those sectors will ALWAYS lag behind. You can have private public partnerships that can work, but having a government, especially in an unstable environment trying to run things, just doesn't work. Look at any history book to figure that out. And unlike yourself, I actually have real experience with businesses and government and can figure out what works and what doesn't--you are too brainwashed and weak to discern reality from fantasy.

The government would be much better off putting resources into security and safety, like putting more police on the street to reduce crime and kidnappings by your so called allies. as well as take steps to increase transparency in government. Good luck getting that to work with your so called allies.

For people who are still defending the idiots governing the country, here is an idea: shut up and come back when your clowns start producing results; and when that happens i promise we will apologize for being rude and we will shut up. We are fed up with autosatisfaction, the most hilarious one was from telecoms; the guy seemed convinced that he did something great (seriously he doubled the internet speed from 256k to 512k - tested 5mn ago - impressive ha!)

2013 and a tiny little country like lebanon is unable to produce its own electricity... and that has been going on for years whoever the minister in charge hezbollah FPM or any other. it clearly proves that NO politician has the desire to provide electricity to its citizens like in any normal country. what this minister is doing will solve nothing but only make him appear he is doing something to get reelected that s all...
and we still have sheeps to vote for these crooks and inefficient people, paying them salaries to sit and eat. lebanon has the gvt it deserve: wolves eatings sheeps.... and the sheeps are happy!

just listen to aoun now you ll know he said the total opposite when he was in france.... so he and his sheep followers cannot be credible whatever they try to say ! either lying now or for 20 years in france: in both cases they are liars.....

It is called bait and switch--illegal in most countries, but not this one of them. Since you live in the US, I am assuming you know what that means. More or less, it seems that EDL told them that this is the grade of fuel that is being provided to them, and then unloaded something else on them.

Not a surprise in this country, unfortunately, :)
