Lights out!

(and previously published as part of their Geekonomics column in the Business Day)
Rolling blackouts and electricity rationing have had a widespread and serious impact. The media are not immune. As part of Business Days’s commitment to cut energy usage by 20 percent, one in every five columnists is to be cut. The Geeks, as major emitters of hot air, have voluntarily agreed to withdraw this column and this will be out last regular contribution to ‘The Exporter’ supplement. As the crisis eases and our own energy levels return, we hope to provide further occasional commentary. We are betting that there will be no shortage of good material.
