Whether you channeled He-Man's battle cry or Snap's 90's hit, "I Got the Power," you should know I'm one of the fortunate ones in India who has the power. Electrical power.
For two days, there were about 20 states in northern India without it. The number of people affected wout be as if the entire U.S. lost power times two.
I've gotten a couple of Facebook messages and emails about it so thought I'd write a post. Rather than be ramble on, I found that NBC news did a pretty great job on last night's report so here's a video that has some great images and stats.
Second Indian outage in two days cuts power to more than 600 million people
(It's worth watching through the little advert. Sorry for those who are annoyed for 15 seconds.
At least you have electricity to watch the video and aren't stuck in 100+ temps in a rickshaw.)
Since I arrived back, I've been trying to be a bit more energy conscious here just hoping that my little effort helps. Lucky girl.
And for those of you who don't recall Snap's hit, a little morning (or evening) house dance party reminder...
