Arrr, me hearties! Mexico be sufferin' from hourslong blackouts thanks to scorchin' heat and power shortages. The land be as dark as the depths of Davy Jones' locker. Shiver me timbers, 'tis a fine mess we've got ourselves into!
In Mexico, the land of rolling blackouts, the scorching sun beat down on the land, causing temporary drops in electrical power generation and leaving the people in the dark for hours. The government's National Center for Energy Control reported that about 5% of customers were affected by the largest power cut, lasting a torturous four hours.As the sun set and the evening arrived, Mexicans rushed home to turn on their beloved devices, causing a spike in power demand that only added to the chaos. With temperatures soaring to record highs, even Greater Mexico City, known for its cooler nights, felt the heat.But the real kicker came from unexpected sources - lower output from hydroelectric dams due to drought, and clouds blocking solar power. What a mess! And to top it all off, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who fancied himself a power player, found himself in an embarrassing situation as his grand plans for state-owned power companies backfired.In the land of pirates and power outages, one thing was clear - when the sun blazes and the power falters, even the mightiest leaders can be left in the dark.
