we don't realize how much depend on electricity. how often do we think how wonderful it is that we can have lights when the sun goes down? or,that we can keep our food cold in the refrigerator? we take all these things for granted -we don't even think a bout them. on July 30,2012, a power outage in northern India left 670 million people without electricity. the extremely hot summer caused the demand for electricity to reach levels. also,27 percent of India's power is lost because of bad transmission or because it is stolen.
