This article which came from Naharnet; talks about the reasons why MP Michel Aoun calls for public demonstration. His main reason is his rivals are blocking the 1.2 billion plan (created by his ally Gebran Bassil) to solve the electrical crises.
Whether he is right or wrong to protest, the fact remains that he is protesting against the political system that is trying to conspire against his party but not to implement the 1.2 billion plan to build a new power station. On the other hand, the opposition are at fault to because rather trying to negotiate with the party in power (Aoun's party and others), they refuse any negotiations and hinder any forward steps to go through the 1.2 billion plan. The reaction from the opposition is normal because no opposition party want to make the party in power to look "functional". None the less, there is electrical crisis and both parties must unite to solve the crisis in hand.
This is another example of how two parties are not willing to work together to solve our electrical crises.

This article is a written interview with Dr. Chamel Macaron by the NOW Lebanon website. Dr. Chamel Macaron is founder of Altaka Albadila, which sells and installs photovoltaic and thermal solar panels and wind turbines. In the interview he suggests a project called “Connecting to the Grid”. This projects simply allows a house that has installed solar panels (or any alternate energy source) and producing excess electricity to be sent to the electric grid system. In return the government pay the household money on the amount of excess of electricity it has produced. The beauty of this idea is that each household is power plant providing electricity to there neighbors who requires much more electricity.
As stated by Dr. Chamel Macaron, there are 2 problems on why this project is not implemented. One being the government takes years to pass a bill and second the grid system is “non reliable”.
Would it be best for Michel Aoun to focus his protest to implement his 1.2 billion plan or at the very least consider the Connecting to the Grid project? Rather protesting on how his counterparts are trying to make his party look bad? Would it be best for the opposition try to come up with another plan to fix Lebanon’s electrical crises? Rather hindering any step to a solution or trying to humiliate the party in power?
These question can only be answered by the officials themselves. And as citizens of Lebanon, we do not have time to wait for there answers. Again, the call for peaceful and non-biased protest focusing on projects such as Connecting to the Grid project must be considered
