IN the NEWS - Is Lebanon a Taste of the Winter Energy Crises to Come?

Is this Taste of what we have been Warning about for this winter's coming Crises?
How is this happening in the 21st Century?
Will this Winter be a Winter of Social Unrest?
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth... Luke 21:26

"On Saturday the entirety of Lebanon was plunged into darkness, with the electricity grid shut down completely after the small Mediterranean country's two main power stations reportedly ran out of fuel.  "The al Zahrani and the Deir Ammar power stations stopped working after supplies of diesel were apparently exhausted, and energy production dropped to below 200

megawatts," Sky News reports.

A Lebanese official has confirmed to Reuters that the blackout is expected to last multiple days. "The Lebanese power network completely stopped working at noon today, and it is unlikely that it will work until next Monday, or for several days," the official said.

Over the past months major Lebanese cities and towns have
experienced periodic blackouts, but this looks to be the worst and most far-reaching and long lasting -Much of the past year in Lebanon has witnessed scenes of sometimes miles-long lines at gas stations, with fights and disputes over supplies becoming almost routine. Residents and business owners have tried to endure via generators and hoarding personal fuel supplies insofar is possible for those who can afford it."
