Brazil and Argentina:Elecfricitv Goes From Green To Brown

摘要

With gas turning into an endangered species in the southern cone of South America,countries are rapidly switching to other sources of power.But the alternatives are usually more expensive and not always environmentally friendly.This year and next,Brazil is expected to be around 6,200 megawatts short of electricity.Petrobras has failed to keep its 10 domestic gas-fired plants supplied,thus removing 3,500 MW from the national grid,while electricity imports have been reduced by gas crises in neighboring Argentina and Bolivia.
