Government must decide whether to reactivate this hydroelectric complex and the fate of the Río Turbio coal company. This Wednesday the first 1,800 layoffs were announced.

Governor Claudio Vidal warns that, if everything were to stop, "the province will catch fire." In percentage terms, if the dams are not reactivated, and if progress is made in Congress with the initiative to privatize YCRT, 1.5% of the Santa Cruz population will be left without sources of work.
