The capital of ‘the most miserable country in the world’ could be about to go dark

Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, could be about to go dark.  The problem is Caracas’ power source. According to Bloomberg, the Guri Dam, a hydroelectric power plant, has seen its water levels dip precipitously low. An engineer who managed the plant in the 1980s said there could be rolling blackouts in Caracas by late April.  “At the current rhythm, the minimum level to operate the eight turbines could be reached by April 30,” the retired engineer,Cesar Cardozo, told Bloomberg. “That date could be extended into May if more severe rationing is implemented.”  read
