    Freaking stupid Korean sheep will believe anything the Government feeds them.

    Korea gets 97% of it's electricity from Nuclear,Coal and Natural Gas.

    "According to the Korea Energy Economics Institute, in 2008 about 67 percent of thermal generation was coal-fired, 29 percent was natural gas-fired, and less than 3 percent was oil-fired"

    …and the rest was Nuclear. So WTF are they actually saving by turning the lights of due to the 'high cost of oil'?

    Well, if that's the reason electricity prices are soaring…

    Then again, it could easily be a good way to bust the businesses not complying… They caught Al Capone on tax evasion, not murder…

    It's the government that's stupid. Why do I you think I call South Korean politicians "shoe throwers"?

    Your source is talking about heat (boilers), not electricity.
