But the truth is that the electric system in the whole country has been more than neglected by the revolution, which is a in incredible sin regarding the fact that Chávez enjoyed the biggest petroleum bonanza of the nation's history.
The power outages predate this particular drought by years, it's an inherent problem in the whole infrastructure which the administrations of the past two decades or more have failed to really address; so yeah we're just living through exacerbated consequences of our historical incompetence and corruption.
Maduro is not the Devil, he's just a fucking moron.

Obviously you need to implement power cuts.

Maduro is not the Devil, he's just a fucking moron who inherited a massive mess from his beloved commander.

Venezuela has had this problem for fucking ages, neither Chávez nor Maduro did anything to find other sources of power. When this happens, they don't really care if they can still keep Caracas running by fucking other cities in the ass, and when the levels are back up and they don't have to cut power, they do absolutely nothing to solve this shit that happens almost every year.

holy shit why is Holla Forums so fucked

WTF? Did you expect Chavez do develop nuclear fusion or something?
Eli Hughes
If he gave a shit about maintaining the refineries well, it's likely that all of this could be avoided.
Why are neighboring countries not shitting themselves like Venezuela did in 2010?

Chávez actually activated thermal power stations and imported electricity from Colombia, he may not have done the best thing but he could deal with it. ____________ bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-36108295
And the rotating timeslots for power cuts:
I guess that the 12am to 4am power cuts will make people stop working, at least here in Maracaibo, because nobody will want to work or go to school with one or two hours of sleep (sleeping without a fan or air conditioner in this heat is fucking hard)
From the video: Current average consumption is 15500MW (he says "a grain of water, not sand", wouldn't that be a drop?)

The amnesty law wasn't the only one blocked for bullshit reasons, all legal ways of starting a referendum are getting blocked too, but the supreme court can do whatever the fuck it wants because it's the fucking supreme court.
I guess that they want one of those outcomes: A. The opposition gives up B. A coup commanded by radical military guys (pro- or anti-chávez, but still anti-maduro) happens, they take Maduro and kill him dead, and no opposition leader will want to be associated with the coup so we end up with a military leader.
