🧵 For the last 40 hours there has been no power in my home due to a winter storm. I live in San Mateo County: a very wealthy county but I live in its poorest community. If the future is electric what does this say about our future?
@GavinNewsom @AlexPadilla4CA @SenFeinstein @RepAnnaEshoo @JoshBeckerSV you all know that climate change is pushing electricity as the solution and an all electric future is a horror show with this electrical infrastructure.
The power company has given no public estimate of when power will be restored, and remind us that the neighboring cities have no power either. What the neighboring cities do have that EPA doesn’t is wealth, and access to credit.

غیر یقینی، مافیائی مزاج یا عمومی معاشرتی رویہ؟
صبح سے بتی گل تھی، رات نو سے دس کے بیچ آفس سے واپسی کا سفر تھا۔رستے میں لاہور کے دو تین مشہور علاقوں سے گزر ہوا تو جنرل اسٹورز اور بیکری کی دکانوں پر اخیر رش دیکھنے کو ملا۔ بارہ مقامات پر پڑاو کیا
اسٹور والوں سے پوچھا: موم بتی ہے؟ نہیں سر! کب کی ختم ہوچکی۔ ٹارچ وغیرہ ہے؟ نہیں سر، وہ بھی ختم شد۔
پوچھا کیا وجہ بنی؟ جواب ملا، عوام پندرہ پندرہ بیس بیس موم بتیاں خرید کر سر شام ہی چلتے بنے۔ تو اب کہاں سے ملے گی موم بتی؟
ادھر دیکھنے کے بعد دو چار دکانداروں نے آنکھ کے اشارے سے انتظار کرنے کا کہا,کاوئنٹر پر رش کم ہوا تو کہنے لگے، بس چند ایک موم بتیاں باقی ہیں، ذاتی استعمال کیلئے رکھی تھیں، آپ خرید لیں لیکن ریٹ دوگنا ہونگے کہ قلت ہے۔۔۔۔!

After fast depleting stocks of Gandum (wheat flour), Gas, Cooking oil, Petrol, Diesel, Pakistan is facing a new crisis in form of severe #PowerOutage which as per publically available info, has impacted major cities like Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Quetta, Multan etc.

1/n Thread
This means, #PowerBreakDown in at least three of four states of Pakistan, ie Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan. I do not have an update on issue from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as yet.

& Not sure when was last time residents of PoK received adequate power.

Pakistan is also facing shortage of drugs, I mean drugs that medical fraternity prescribes.

NOT the type which some just sniff

Near zero stock of medicines used for treatment of Chronic & Life threatening drugs IMO, is, issue bigger than #PowerOutage
