The Free Patriotic Movement’s Energy Advisory Board responded to the Minister of Energy and Water with the following statement: You entered the ministry as a respected advisor and will leave it as a disrespectful liar. It seems that you learned to lie from your "teachers" and we hope you did not learn corruption from your office manager. There are two simple things in your lies. First, the ships are not rented and you know that. You insist on lying to people and saying that the cost of renting them is higher than the cost of buying them. The truth is that Electricité du Liban was buying electricity from ships as a floating factory in the water, just as it was buying it from Syria or costing it from factories. Secondly, the comparison of the cost of electricity purchased from ships is not, dear non-expert, compared to the cost of the cheapest factory, nor is it compared to the cost of the most expensive factory. Rather, it is compared to normal conditions on average. However, in cases that witness an energy shortage, such as Lebanon, it is compared to what is higher than it, because in doing so it saves the state when it is cheaper from other sources, as is the case with electricity in Lebanon. The cost of electricity purchased from ships is cheaper than the old Zouk, Jiyeh, and Tire factories. And Baalbek, and it is also cheaper than importing it from Syria. The cost of electricity purchased from ships, which was worth 12 and 13 cents at the time, was much lower than other sources and the general average, which sometimes exceeded 17 and 18 cents depending on the fuel price and the seasons. This is our quick answer to you, without studying, but if you want more details due to your lack of knowledge, we can provide them to you directly or in front of public opinion. As for the forensic audit that you are threatening, and since it seems that you are not improving either the laboratories, the networks, or the stations, but rather only improving the forensic auditing on the orders of your teachers, you will quickly discover that you will not discover anything, except your lack of knowledge of the file and the great stupidity of your teachers.
