What fuel does Chad use to make electricity?
Chad has only one major power plant, with four generators, which are driven by oil-fired steam turbines. Total electric generation capacity in 2007 was 33 MW. Even though Chad is a petroleum-exporting country, it has no refineries, so it must import the fuel oil that it uses to generate electricity. As a result, electricity prices in Chad are among the highest in the world. The entire electric power generation and distribution industry is owned and operated by the government. Electricity is only available in some areas and is unreliable.

Why is the hanging chad important?
A hanging chad means that the voter's intention is unclear. When the voter's intentions are unclear, the results of the election are always in doubt. It takes away from the authority of the "winner" and it creates resentment and distrust among those who voted for the "loser."
In the American election in 2000, the number of hanging chads on the Florida ballots was enough to change the results of the election, so they started a recount. When the Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 to stop the recount, it meant that the President of the United States was in effect chosen by 9 people. Millions of Americans were deprived of a vote. In a recent election at my school, we had 23 votes (15 for, 7 against, and 1 "hanging chad" situation where we didn't know what that person meant). The 15 would have been a 2/3 majority if we hadn't counted the unclear vote in the total. Now everybody's mad and won't work together.
