I listened to a documentary podcast about Africa's power problems and it was very good. Africa is having rolling blackouts that last for days and the entire economy is on the verge of failing because of the huge demand for power for industrial businesses. Power used to be the cheapest in the world by far in southern Africa so many businesses flocked there to take advantage of the cheap power but they grew too fast and the power supply companies couldn't keep up and now they can't afford to stop any of the business so they are cutting out the lights for civilians in order to keep the businesses running. They say it's like trying to fix a car while it's racing at 120 mph.
