Electricity Rationing Starting Monday In Tokyo

Posted by samzenpus on from the news-keeps-getting-better dept.

siddesu writes "Japanese officials are announcing a schedule for electricity blackouts to last from tomorrow until the end of April. Practically all suburbs of Tokyo will be affected by the blackouts. The 23 districts of central Tokyo seem to be exempt for the moment, but if supply is not sufficient, blackouts are possible. Electricity will be interrupted for about 3 hours a day in each area."

    At least you know you won't be seeing looting, raping and rioting like in New Orleans and Haiti.

    Gee, what could be the difference?
