source CARACAS, Venezuela, April 15 (UPI) -- President Nicolas Maduro is proposing drastic new steps to combat the energy crisis crippling Venezuela. These include changing the country's time zone and rationing electricity supplies to 15 shopping malls. Maduro said Thursday that the new change will take effect May 1. He didn't provide details, except to state that it will be an additional emergency measure to prevent power outages. Vice President Jorge Arreaza said Friday the country would move its clocks forward a half-hour to the GMT-4 zone. ATTANOMICS
