When Mursi came to power in Egypt he promissed that Electricity will become http://allafrica.com/stories/201207310084.html But when it comes to actions, he now orders Egypt to shut down at 22:00. He ordered closing of all shops and coffey shops at 22:00, for they cannot provide the electricity. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/egypt/9647775/Egypts-government-tries-to-end-Cairos-reputation-as-city-that-never-sleeps.html He said It leaves one to wonder what will shud down next ? What will be the lame, pseudo religiose, execuse for that ?
Wasn't Egypt one of obama's new democracies that he loved so much? Just like Libya. Where Benghazi is. When four Americans died. And obama tried to blame it on a obscure video
you will find that many Egyptians are happy that the shops will close at midnight (not 10pm) sorry to disappoint you
Happened in England too, and all thanks to the Conservative government with its idiotic monetary policy and rampant inflation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-Day_Week
Here if you are interested in Egypt read these two pieces of news from today ‎##مصر تمنح "بتروسيلتيك" أكبر عقد للتنقيب عن النفط في سيناء بعد الثورة## حصلت شركة "بيتروسيلتيك إنترناشونال" الأيرلندية على عقد ضخم للتنقيب عن النفط في مصر، في مساحة تصل إلى 1824 كيلومترا مربعا، في شبة جزيرة سيناء، في عقد هو الأضخم لاستكشاف النفط في شبة الجزيرة بعد الثورة. وأشارت صحيفة "الإندبندنت" الأيرلندية إلى أن العقد الجديد الذي حصلت عليه "سيلتيك" للتنقيب سيعزز مكانتها في سوق النفط العالمية، ويعزز محفظتها الدولية في مجال الاستكشافات النفطية العالمي. وبموجب ترخيص التنقيب الذي حصلت عليه الشركة، فإنها ستكون مطالبة خلال الأربعة أعوام المقبلة بتغطية مساحة تصل إلى 450 كيلومترا مربعا، والحصول على بيانات كاملة ورسم خرائط ثلاثية البعاد لوضع المنطقة من الزلزال ومدى استقرار التربة، بالإضافة إلى حفر بئر استكشافي. وسوف تعمل "بتروسيلتيك" على استكشاف الموقع بالكامل بالتعاون مع شركة "دانا بتروليم" البريطانية وشركة "بيتش بتروليم. وفي تعليقه على هذا التطور الكبير لموقف الشركة في عملها بمصر، قال براين كاثاين، الرئيس التنفيذي للشركة: "نثق جيدا في أن العمل المشترك الذي سنقوم به بالتعاون مع دانا وبيتش بتروليم، سوف يؤتي ثماره بشكل جيد، لأنه سيعتمد على أحدث تكنولوجيا عرفها العالم في مجال التنقيب عن النفط واستكشاف الآبار النفطية". وأضاف: "لقد استطعنا بالفعل تحديد عدد من الأسس التي نعتقد أنها ستساعدنا في الوصول إلى احتياطات نفطية كبيرة في سيناء خلال الفترة المقبلة، وسيكون تركيزنا الكبير عليها خلال الفترة المقبلة". and this one
here we have all shops open all day and night so it is a good thing to close them at midnight Here we can have anything delivered from a bottle of Limonade to a bag of cement to a light bulb to a fridge to anything else at time of the day or night. I'm glad they are doing this because we should all be lookingat ways to save energy and fuel and the roads will be more empty also which is good
That's not what award-winning correspondent Sherine Tadros finds when she dares to risk sexual assault talking to Egyptians on the streets and she reckons the shops will soon be forced to close early not open later. Not that anyone worth their salt believes you anyway but you are insulting our intelligence with such posts. [video=youtube;9LHAk1m32Vo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LHAk1m32Vo[/video]
Yes, poor folk desperately trying to eke out a living are willing to work for next to nothing at all hours of the day and night. Does it save energy? Those who can afford it will buy a generator and those who can't were already saving what they could. Having lots of small generators running is a huge waste of energy. Still it may help your presicent keep his word though I doubt anyone was thinking that water and air would become as scarce as electricity!
This is what its all about: Petroceltic to explore in Sinai Exploration company Petroceltic International has been awarded a new license in Egypt. Block 12 'Ela Qa'a Plain'' is composed of two largely unexplored areas covering 1,824 square kilometres in the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula. The company said that the overall licence term is six years, with the work commitment in the first four year period comprising new 3D seismic data and the drilling of at least one exploration well. Petroceltic has a 37.5pc working interest in the site, while Dana Petroleum and Beach Petroleum also have working interests. source This is the kind of news Abu wants us to read not articles about Presidential broken promises or electricity cuts.
LOL, You send an article about some company getting license to look for oil in some place in Sinai and a picture of Mursi with a protective hat. What do you think we are illiterate Falahs from the delta ? Fact is, Egypt has no oil to light the houses. Egypt also has no money to pay for exported oil or any other energy source to light the houses. Not even at a discount I'm sure your beloved Arab brothers who swim in money is willing to give Egypt. Or maybe, they are not really your brothers when it comes to helping you out.... Anyways, unlike what you wrote every thing shut down at 22:00 not 24:00. Only some tourists attractions stay open till 24:00 to cater the rich spoiled tourists. Those places need to get special license to operate till then.
A controversial government decision to close shops early has stirred a heated debate over whether it would be efficient to save energy. A hardline Islamist preacher had a totally new perspective. This act is used by religiouse "leaders" as a way of controlling the masses The label who even opposes them as Islam enemy. Using their religiouse authority for political gain: http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/57670/Egypt/Politics-/Close-shops-early,-sleep-early,-pray-early-Salafis.aspx
An excellent post. To this, I can contribute this: В Египте вводят время окончания работы ресторанов и кафе КАИР, 11 окт - РИА Новости, Александр Елистратов. Правительство Египта вводит официальное время закрытия предприятий торговли, ресторанов, разнообразных точек быстрого питания и кафе, сообщил журналистам в четверг министр регионального развития Ахмад Абиддин. По его словам, это решение было принято на совещании губернаторов всех 29 провинций страны с премьер-министроми Хишамом Кандилем и вступит в силу сразу же после окончания главного мусульманского праздника Ид аль-Адха (праздник жертвоприношения, который в нынешнем году отмечается 26 - 27 октября. В настоящее время в Египте подавляющее большинство торговых точек, небольших ресторанчиков и кофеин начинают свою активную деятельность с наступлением сумерек - когда спадает дневная жара. Тысячи египтян, по устоявшейся годами традиции, проводят в маленьких кафе и кальянных, которые уже давно превратились в своеобразные дискуссионные клубы, большую часть вечера и засиживаются в них за разговорами далеко за полночь. http://ria.ru/world/20121011/772057347-print.html
WTF? Don't you think we know in Egypt, like in many countries with hot climat, life begins at sunset? What a garbage
Here's the machine translation for yea... not much to see there. _________________________________________ # Egypt granted "Petrosaltic" the largest contract to explore for oil in the Sinai after the revolution # Acquired "Petrosaltic International" Irish a huge contract to explore for oil in Egypt, in an area of ​​up to 1824 square kilometers, in the Sinai Peninsula, in the contract is the largest for oil exploration in the peninsula after the revolution. The newspaper "The Independent" Irish to the new contract, obtained by "Celtic" exploration will strengthen its position in the global oil market, and enhances its international portfolio in the field of global oil exploration. Under the exploration license obtained by the company, they will be required over the next four years to cover an area up to 450 square kilometers, and get a complete data and mapping Triple baad to develop the area of ​​the earthquake and the stability of the soil, as well as the drilling of an exploratory well. And will work "Petrosaltic" to fully explore the site in cooperation with the company "Dana Petroleum" British "Beach Petroleum. Commenting on this great development for the company's position in its work in Egypt, said Brian Kathaan, CEO of the company: "We are confident well in that the joint action we will do in collaboration with Dana Beach Petroleum, will pay dividends well, because it will depend on the latest technology known to the world in the field of oil exploration and oil exploration wells. " He added: "We have already been able to identify a number of foundations that we believe will help us to reach the huge oil reserves in the Sinai during the coming period, and our focus will be big in the coming period."
Yep, a bunch of individual generators makes about as much sense as everyone owning a personal automobile or two instead of relying on buses and trains. It's all grossly wasteful and inefficient, and not terribly good for the planet either.
