I've gone through 5, five minute outages today. I live between 2 lakes with 2 dams generating. Wtf? What happens next year when all these thousands of condos and Apts with heaters and shit open up? Why is AEC concerned with installing rural internet everywhere when they can't keep the lights on?

Anarchy. We should not be subjected to tyranny rule, therefore it's encumbant for individuals to become self sufficient. Don't rely on public infrastructure. Sure, it's convenient when it works, but you can no longer assume it will work when you need it. Power your home using a generator or batteries and an inverter. 20Kwh should be enough to keep your house going for a day or two or possibly 3. Keep enough gas/diesel for a week or more. If you don't, you will freeze because your heating system requires electricity. A wood stove is great too. It requires no public infrastructure. If you don't do this, I'm not going to be so sympathetic because you think big government is going to help you. We're on our own. But then I'm preaching to the choir on Poal.

I suppose the engineered warm in europe is balanced somewhere else

USA people should start asking questions on what all jet trails do to the weather

These outages were minimal not that long ago (pre- obamabiden).
