I got this info from the Joy Fm website, I hope we aren't slowly but surely going back to the stone-age. 



Consumers have been asked to brace themselves for longer hours of blackouts starting Thursday morning as the Electricity Company of Ghana is forced to shed a record estimated 500 megawatts of electricity.

Following an abrupt cut in the supply of gas from Nigeria, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Grid Company, William Amuna told Joy News, Ghana will from today begin shutting down all gas powered thermal plants across the country.

“We are now relying on the gas stored in the pipeline and as we deplete: that means we will have to shut down those plants. It is important that we go into serious conservation of energy”, he said. - Joy News. Click Here to Read more

I think we need a course on How to light your house without electricity. The country has great inventors like Asidu Abudu, Dr. Kwadwo Safo  and others,...they can be sponsored to conduct research into alternative energy sources for the country. 

I wonder where I could get cheap high quality solar panels to buy.
