S. Korea issues power shortage alert
06:47 Aug 7 2012 South Korea
Description
South Korea's state-run electricity distributor issued a power shortage alert Tuesday due to a surge in electricity consumption caused by high temperatures, the second such move in as many days.The Korea Power Exchange issued an initial warning at 11:20 a.m. after the country's electricity reserve dropped to below 4 million kilowatts.
The company later upgraded the warning to its third-highest level of "attention," which is triggered when the reserve level drops to between 2 million and 3 million kilowatts. The second-highest warning of "caution" is issued when the reserve falls to less than 2 million kilowatts.
If the electricity reserve runs out, it may cause a nationwide blackout, which could take weeks or months to repair, according to the Ministry of Knowledge Economy that handles the country's energy affairs.

In general, the best way to use a creidt card is to funnel your normal spending through it for the rewards and then pay it off in full each month. If that was your plan, then I'd suggest whichever student rewards creidt card will pay you the most for your normal spending profile (on groceries, gas, entertainment, etc.). A couple good rewards cards are the Citi mtvU card and Citi Driver's Edge for Students card.However, you can use this rewards calculator to see which student rewards card will pay you the most for your normal spending:However, if you're only going to use your creidt card in foreign countries occasionally, then your biggest concern should be to avoid the typical 3% foreign exchange fee when using your creidt card outside the U.S. In that case, the best deal is almost always a Capital One card because Capital One eats all foreign exchange fees (0% fee for you). Cap One does have student cards too.
