A fantastic piece of literature, well written, and alarming, by Alistair Pope, “A Dark Day in Dubai,” describing what happens in a modem city without electricity. Of course, for rural folk it is no problem, just get out the Hurricane lantern, running on batteries now rather than old school kerosene with less fire danger around the hay shed. I have fond memories of power failures as a kid on the farm, where it was time to get out the Hurricane lanterns, eat by cooking on the wood stove, and story-telling. Sometimes Dad would BBQ meat on the wood-powered outside grill. But for urban areas, when the power is off, it is no happy adventure, as this piece shows. Life under the Green renewable energy will ring in this world.
