NO fuel for Kelanithissa Power Plant until Diesel Tanker arrives on Monday (7)

COLOMBO (News 1st); Sri Lanka’s Energy Ministry says the Kelanitissa Power Plant will remain without fuel until a diesel tanker reaches the country on Monday (7).The country’s hydropower generation has already dropped to 32 percent.Data published by the Ceylon Electricity Board said there is limited fuel in thermal power plants.Power cuts were reported in many areas although the Ceylon Electricity Board had not made any announcement to that effect on Thursday (3).Although Sri Lanka’s power demand at nightstands at 2650 Megawatts, the CEB had been able to generate only about 2276 Megawatts.The CEB said that the Kelanitissa and Baththala power stations had not generated power as they had run out of fuel.The energy ministry’s secretary K.D.R. Olga said fuel had been supplied to the CEB as agreed.The secretary added that the power plants had run out of fuel before as more fuel had been used compared to the initial calculations.She added that the West Coast Power Plant had run out of fuel in 8 days despite being given fuel for 11 days.The Kelanitissa Power Plant was given fuel to run until Friday (4).The energy ministry says that the Kelanitissa Power Plant will remain without fuel until a diesel tanker reaches the country on Monday (7).It added that providing more fuel to the Kelanitissa Power Plant before that would create a shortage of diesel.

Candice Bergen calls on Liberals to extend ‘olive branch’ to trucker convoy

Candice Bergen says her goal as interim leader of Canada’s Official Opposition will be to strengthen the conservative movement and leave the next leader with a party that’s ready to win.The Conservative caucus elected the Manitoba MP and former deputy party leader on Wednesday to serve as interim head after a majority of MPs ousted Erin O’Toole from the top job. Conservatives elect Candice Bergen as interim party leader Bergen faces a caucus that has spent weeks divided and angry over O’Toole’s leadership since last year’s federal election loss.She also takes on the role at a time when anti-vaccine mandate protesters have jammed downtown Ottawa, honking into all hours of the night and forcing the closure of many businesses and services.Some Conservative MPs accused O’Toole of failing to take a clear stance on the protest, while Bergen has offered her full support to the group and dismissed reports of racism and harassment among the demonstrators as the actions of a small few.Bergen’s Tory colleagues greeted her with a standing ovation in the House of Commons Thursday as she made her debut as interim leader during question period, where she took aim at the Trudeau government for refusing to extend an “olive branch” to the demonstrators.“Can the prime minister please tell Canadians what role he thinks the government can play and what they can do to solve the impasse?” Bergen asked.The protesters have clogged the capital for nearly a week and say they won’t leave until vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 restrictions are abolished.

Crosby and Stills join Nash and Young in Spotify protest over Joe Rogan’s COVID-19 ‘disinformation’

wrote in a “Déjà Vu” statement.“While we always value alternate points of view, knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences. Until real action is taken to show that a concern for humanity must be balanced with commerce, we don’t want our music—or the music we made together—to be on the same platform.”Young started the trend when he pulled his solo catalog from the streaming service last week in protest of “fake information about vaccines” being spread on the popular “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Joni Michell, a contemporary of the 60s supergroup, followed suit on the heels of Young’s announcement and Nash joined the chorus of musicians requesting to flee the service on Tuesday, calling on Spotify to be “responsible and accountable” for its content.The band’s request applies to music the band released both with and without sometimes-member Young, as well as solo releases from Crosby and Stills, according to a press release.Crosby tweeted last month that removing his catalog might be difficult because he sold his recorded music and publishing rights. Music from CSNY, CSN and Crosby, Nash and Stills was still on Spotify as of Thursday night.Rogan, who has a $100 million deal with the streaming service, addressed accusations on Sunday that his show promoted unsanctioned COVID-19 treatments and claimed that vaccinations were harmful to some.“I’m not trying to promote misinformation.
