    What is causing the electricity shortage? At least it's only for short periods, so you can still use a laptop or a UPS.

    Perhaps Pakistan should consider pumping a little more of their military nuclear power into providing electricity to the people.

    Electricity shortage is due to Previous Government mismanagement or Fast rapid Growth and Yes 100% agree that Government should not Spend all Taxes money in Making Weaponry and Atomic Bombs.. and should use Atomic power for Electricity Generation but they are NOt doing this...

    It's not only in Pakistan ,it's also in India ;)
    (This is were we get united)

    It's 2 hours here on city like chennai..(Min atleast 1 hr)

    But in states like UP it's more than 6 hours...

    it's all due to rise in Crude Oil Prices... those oil rich countries are taking all the money from us which can be used for generation of more electricity...and overall development...

    dude..... Pervez Musharraf is not the president of Pakistan.... he resigned....

    Now responsibility is on the ruling parties [PPPP & PML(N)]!..

    and i don't think these two parties are sincere in solving our problems :(

    Have completely no idea, but just a thought, you guys have scorching weather most of the time, why does your country and yourselves not invest more in solar power.

    Actually these power cuts , they say it is because of us. The cost of producing power is, say 10$ and we pople ( Indians and Pakistanis, in general Asians) fight it out against our government to give us power and many more things at a lower cost. As a result, say we get it for 7$ . The remaining 3$ is a loss to the government. And to mend this dent, they seem to be stopping power production untill these losses are meted out. This is the case with all the hike in petrol and diesel prices too ;)
