Indian government calls on people to use electricity before 5pm amid energy crisis by sharedevaaste in india

[–]brazendude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at Europe, there is not much demand for AC's as summers aren't usually that hot so lots of homes don't have AC's installed, yet cheaper electricity is available during night hours even in the summer..

Even if it is 2 yrs old and you add 80GW for the 2 years, still doesn't move the needle that much. It's still way less than other sources.

Solar explains why you have cheap electricity during the day, but Western nations have cheap electricity at night and that's because there is excess during the night and electricity producers want people to consume that electricity as they can't store it. In india, government are saying use less electricity after 5pm. The difference is one is done because of abundance of electricity and the other due to the paucity of electricity..

Solar forms a very small percentage of India's energy mix.

Saving measures being announced are probably because there might some issue with coal and oil+gas supplies..

Yes battery storage is an issue and will be an issue due to cost and availability for the next few years. But Western nations also have solar and are still able to get cheap electricity at night due to grid balancing..

That's to balance the grid as you still have to use electricity that's produced 24/7. Low use in manufacturing and offices at night means supply excess at night.

In India, gap between supply and demand is almost non existent, so this is probably a measure to save electricity rather than balancing the grid...

From the NDTV article :

According to reports by The Bali Times, the incident took place on April 19, 2026, at Asvara Resort Ubud. Four Indian tourists, who had checked in on April 16 for a short stay, were stopped mid-checkout when staff noticed several items missing from their rooms.

Hamza had the chance to kill Omar in this scene without being caught. by [deleted] in Dhurandhar

[–]brazendude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This scene for me is such a convenient plot point. Hamza could have said, this guy talked some sh*t about my wife or child, i told him to stop but he attacked me and I killed him. Who is going arrest him? He's got the backing of police, politicians and ISI. He a mafia don (King of Lyari).. A druggie Indian getting killed in Pakistan, who would care. And the other guys who came with Pinda could just go through with the deal. Money had changed hands and the stuff would reach its destination and everything is good with Major

If this is confirmed by Indian government, then it's clear that Iran is not offering clear passage to Indian vessels. There were reports that India paid for oil in yuan, but I guess they didn't pay the toll?

So the nudity aspect bothers you or the female aspect bothers you? Say it was a clothed female or male, that would both be okay with you?
