Unfortunately since they put too many eggs in one basket, that means they have to switch to electricity from another source.

The nuclear power plants were taken down last summer (2013) in Korea because of faulty parts (not faulty, but more so parts that were fake) and they warned us about rolling blackouts. We got pretty damn close a few days, but it never happened.

I'm sure that was hard for the elderly as they are usually the ones who are vulnerable.
