First the government comes to the people and says we can expect to have higher bills because they paid a lot for fuel. Did they show what the prices were in the market when they bought the fuel and how this compared to prior prices? A lot of the global oil prices seem to have an inverse correlation to what the government is saying for parts of their time in office. Similarly at the pumps. Gas prices globally going down, but the dealers going up. They have their own OPEC, aye?

BPL warning of potential load shedding. Those Wastila engines didn't pan out like they expected because they are plugged into an old infrastructure. This is what they are saying. So, let's see from September 2021 to now the engineers just figured that out? Really?! Let's be clear an engineer straight out of university would have figured that out before the engines were installed. Do we believe the Wartsila engineers have no clue on their engines? We have to start asking critical questions and stop believing any nonsense we are told. Can a journalist, any journalist, find a couple of logical questions to ask these guys when they start shoveling this stuff?

We need to ask what is really going on. Who is benefitting from these "Ooops"? We can be sure this isn't global oil pricing or the engineers from Wartsila and BPL being one step above playing with crayons to take almost two years to figure out the engine doesn't plug into the old infrastructure. They should start the story "Once upon a time" and end "They lived happily ever after".
