Yeah, I suspect #blackouts in the #us will not bode well for #biden 's #election in 2024: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/power-.. Pretty insane to see the #us go through such a thing, given that only a few years ago they were all about #energy #stability .
I spoke to people who were in these #meetings about the #uk #planned #blackouts during #winter due to a lack of #russian #gas https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/le.. They are said to be " #wargames ", but these are #planned potential #reality . On top of this, it looks like it will be a really #cold #winter this year.
A bit late on this one but the #uk will have 3 hour #blackouts this #winter https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/uk-nati.. Apparently we would get just one day #notice and the #aim would be to #reduce #power by 5%. I suspect most people will just #plan their #activity for another day, or #travel to somewhere with #power .

I now have a #ups #ordered - apparently the #uk will have more #blackouts , possibly even #rolling #blackouts during #winter . As my #work relies on a #computer , it makes sense to have an #uninterruptible #power #supply . Hopefully I can figure out how to #charge it on #cheap rate #electricity .
Great, I think we have started having #rolling #blackouts in the #uk ... Guess which #idiot has a #laptop as their #desktop with a bear #dead #battery ?
Looks like #nz relying almost entirely on #renewable #energy is now looking at #blackouts on #friday as their #capacity is pushed to the #limit https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2022/0811.s.. As #aardvark suggests, this is is *without* widespread #ev #adoption .
I heard that the #uk is being told to prepare for #energy #rationing , and now I am learning about potential #blackouts https://youtube.com/watch?v=YYHpjbv0VBU Apparently all of the #energy we original got from the likes of #norway are being #redirected to the #eu . *Still not talk about #nuclear #energy or bringing #coal / #gas online.* Fuck paying the #standing #charges for a #blackout . A lot of people #burning #wood this #winter for sure.
#china 's #ccp have an enormous #energy #crisis on their hands, they are now expected to have tonnes of #blackouts - they simply do not have enough #coal to support this severe #weather https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/china-.. Damn.
#india now hit with #power #blackouts as the #energy #crisis continues to spread, with a massive #coal #shortage https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/india-f.. This is not going to get better any time soon. Some #industries cannot even take a one day break from #electricity without having some multi-month #delay in #production capability (think #chip #shortage ).
Apparently some #energy #companies were #purposefully causing #blackouts in order to receive a #bailout #package https://timcast.com/news/electric-utilit.. Madness.
Ouch, #california in the #us are shutting down their last #nuclear #powerplant that supplies 9% of their #supply - despite currently having #frequent #blackouts https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/02/why-is-c.. This is an insane decision. #nuclear #fission is #carbonzero and ultra #reliable !
Apparently the #uk 's #national #broadcaster the #bbc is experiencing #broadcast #blackouts due to #copyright issues during #japan 's #tokyo #olympics https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/help/issues.. Bare in mind, grabbing a physical radio will still work fine. What a wonderful new world we live in!
