Gold production in the world's leading supplier, South Africa, fell more than 10 per cent in the second quarter compared to the same period last year, the industry said yesterday, blaming Electricity shortages. A dire fuel Shortage forced rolling power cuts across the country in the first few months of the year. Since February, industries have been limited to 90 per cent of their normal power usage. The Chamber of Mines said the industry continues to bear much of the burden of power shortages and insisted other Electricity users must urgently do more to cut power use ''given the significant export earnings and employment intensity of mining.'' ...

VIDEO - Baghdad, Iraq – it's well known that Iraq has one of the largest reserves of oil in the world, so it is quite ironic that the Iraqi people are constantly having problems obtaining various products produced from oil such as gasoline, propane, diesel, and kerosene. Furthermore, the prices of these products, when compared with the average income of an Iraqi citizen are barely affordable. The average income of an Iraqi citizens is between $100 and $300 per month. The price of one liter of gasoline is 450 Iraqi Dinar, or approximately $.30. While on the black market the price of one liter of gasoline is nearly 1500 Iraqi Dinar or $1. These prices are not stable and depend on the current conditions, whether there is an oil crisis or Electricity Shortage. The prices could jump between 2000 and 5000 Iraqi Dinar, or between $1.50 and $4 per one liter. Reaching most any destination in Baghdad could cost you half to three quarters of your gas tank due to the large number of checkpoints, walls, and convoys causing traffic jams across the city. Another side of the fuel crisis is the price of the diesel fuel that most of the neighborhood generators depend on. You can generate 5 amperes per month of Electricity for approximately $150. However, 5 amperes are barely enough to power the fans, lights and some other simple household appliances. It is certainly not enough for turning on the water heater or air conditioner. The price is also depen ...

The decision came at a meeting here between President Asif Ali Zardari and his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here on the sidelines of the 63rd United Nations General Assembly session that also covered a wide range of issues between the two countries. The two sides agreed on a meeting of their two foreign ministers on October 9 and 10, besides setting up a committee of five senior officials from either side to finalise the project and coordinate activities.
