  • Basically the government has been taken over by the fascist military, foreign reserves are already non existent, Pakistan is one of those countries who asks the IMF for a loan every few years, inflation is rising and the bill for electricity is going through the roof cuz god knows how they calculate it. Not to mention, it also has a huuuuge load shedding issue which means it’s not uncommon to lose electricity for 6-12 hours everyday and now Pakistan also has natural gas load shedding.

    Soooooooooo, these solar systems pay back their investment much much earlier than other countries I think. Keep in mind that people already don’t waste electricity or water or gas cuz of load shedding and high prices. So it’s considerably cheaper to move houses to fully solar.

    It’s funny how much wastage is there in western countries, iirc the carbon footprint of the average person in a third world country is roughly 10 times lower than developed countries.













  • Saying it will work or not work are both equally stupid unless you provide some evidence for it.

    Here’s why it might work:

    Modern economies are extremely fragile. The only reason amazon is able to provide same day delivery is because they can predict with reasonable certainty, what the demand will be.

    Youtube or any big social media works by predicting what the usage will be.

    We are just used to seeing how magically all the technologies work but at their roots, its all about predicting the future trends.

    So if there is enough mass behind this movement to cause disruptions, it will hurt them. Even if it creates some noise, this will force them to increase fault tolerance.

    So the real question everyone should be asking is this:

    Will the inconvenience caused by not buying on 28th more than the potential for some damage?
