    Oh no!! As I was making my last rounds to check on my patients before my shift was over, suddenly, the electricity went out. We thought maybe it was just a power line down in the area or something of that sort, but as the desk-representatives began to call around on their half charged cellular devices to see what the problem was, we came to learn that the whole town of Oxford was experiencing a black out. “What a night this is going to be”, I thought. Thank God for generators!…

    Monsters Inc.

    Surprisingly, Monsters Inc. isn’t the only place that we see an energy crisis; the rolling power blackouts in California in 2001 are extremely similar. The blackouts in California were due to a lack of supply because of the cold winter and the exploiting population in urban areas in California. The cold winter forced everyone to turn up their heat sharply which then caused a spike in demand; and at this same time the entire west half of the U.S was having dramatically less rainfall than usual throughout that winter which didn’t help either because they rely largely on hydroelectric power. Because of this, the nation’s most populous state and the center of the nation’s technology industry couldn’t rely on hydroelectric power, which then in turn caused a shortage. Therefore California experienced multiple blackouts during a few days period due to the lack on conservation of energy (Konrad). Even though the energy crisis in Monsters Inc. is not due to weather problems, it is a very similar situation.…

    Various factors contributed to this acute power-famine. For one thing, generation of electricity had not kept pace with the increase in consumption. During the course of time, people had become more and more electricity minded, there had been industrial expansion on an unprecedented scale, and more electricity was being used for running the tube-wells and for other agricultural purpose. The people were also to blame. They did not-realize that electricity is a national asset and should be conserved and used with care. They were wasteful and extravagant in their use of this essential commodity. Several generators which had been in use over the long period.…
