Near power grid blackout in Europe before Nationwide electricity collapse in Pakistan – What’s plunging millions of people in the dark around the world?
Strange Sounds ^ | 1/13/21 | SS

A near power grid outbreak on January 8, 2021 cut Europe’s power grid into a south-eastern and a north-western part for about an hour was described as one of the most critical near-blackout situations since the region’s last major blackout in 2006.

A day after, on January 9, 2021, Pakistan and most of its 210 millions inhabitants were plunged into darkness during several hours. This was Pakistan’s second major power breakdown since May 2018, when the country remained without electricity for more than nine hours.

A disturbance in the synchronised European high-voltage power grid on Friday, 8 January 2021, resulted in a separation of European grid regions.

The incident, described as one of the most critical near-blackout situations since the region’s last major blackout in 2006, happened after a sudden drop in frequency of around 0.25 Hertz (Hz) in south-eastern Europe.

As a result, the synchronised European grid was split into a south-eastern and a north-western part for about an hour and grid operators had to initiate contracted load shedding in Italy and France to keep the grid stable.

In some regions, sensitive machinery automatically stopped working.

Although the actual cause of the near collapse remains unclear, officials blame France that is unable to cope with the current cold weather.

Britain also seemed to have problems generating enough electricity for the current winter demand.

German press reports about cold temperature and of not enough nuclear power online (44 of 56 reactors are online, next week only 43) in France because of maintenance backlogs due to Corona.

Pakistan plunged into darkness A day after Europe, on January 9, 2021, a power outage struck almost all of Pakistan, leaving around 200 million people without electrical supply.

The blackout was due to a frequency drop resulted from a “fault” at Guddu, in southern Pakistan, at 11:41 p.m. local time on Saturday (6:41 p.m. GMT), which tripped the system and caused power plants to shut down.

The blackout lasted about 18 hours.

According to officials, the record-breaking grid collapse had been caused by “an engineering fault,” although experts are now trying to determine the precise details of what happened as well as the exact location of the fault.

Meanwhile, on January 10, 2021, outages related to heavy snowfall were experienced across eastern Texas, which left over 100k customers without electrical power.

Yes, in Pakistan and Europe, the official causes (weather and human fault) of the catastrophic blackouts seem suspicious to me. Is there something more we don’t know?

Awesome projects like this would certainly help:

Or maybe not.

Windmills stop turning? Solar cells in darkness? Maybe they shouldn’t have taken so many coal fired plants offline before having a reliable alternative source of electricity.

Bingo. Setting the stage for EMP destruction over the USA. IMHO

Chinese components in all the computers around the world. The scary thing is all the Chinese components in our military equipment as well as the computers that control them.

It may wind up being the blackouts that snap Europeans out of their Global Warming trance - it’s something that even Leftist governments cannot ignore.

Welcome to the Green New Deal!

Oh, and sorry, no fires to warm yourselves, please. That would cause too much C02.

Hang on, Summer will be here in a few months!

Adieu mes amis!

They haven’t seen anything yet. Wait until the brilliant and infallible Mutti Merkel’s planned total elimination of German nuclear energy is completed or just further along.

Whether or not it applies to this situation, this is going to be a period of manufactured crises. The globalists were successful with the riots, virus and capitol incidents, eliminating their last opposition to the globalist agenda. Taking control of various systems on a global scale needs to be shrouded in the illusion that it’s being done for the benefit of the people.

Windmills and solar are for fools...

If you have kids have them put out a solar light and see how much light there is if the sun does not shine
