American Blackout. Docudrama. 2013
Also old enough to remember the NY blackout, and of course the dust bowl.
Wasn’t it just last week that the media celebrated Spain operating their grid running entirely on “renewables” during a week day? I seem to recall reading an headline on that “milestone”.
another $100 billion more windmills should solve the problem ...
Browsing the photos of people in the subways with no power made me recall an amusing anecdote:
I was at a training out of town - rural, driven, not flown - and one of the guys there hit me for some conversation. Eventually he got around to asking about the 2 mag holsters on my left hip.
“Whatcha got there on your belt?”
I opened one and showed him.
“Flashlight.” At the time it was a large Nebo (now a shit brand).
“What do you carry a flashlight for?”
Never having been asked the question prior (or since), the answer was academic. Without missing a beat:
“Because I can’t see in the dark.”
He chuckled, then prompted,
“What’s in the other one?”
Me: “Spare.”
“Spare what?”
“Spare,” I repeated, pointing my finger at the ceiling.
For some reason, he did t want to chat anymore.
True story.

“A major power outage is reported in Spain and Portugal, disabling their capitals”
I hope no criminals are capitalizing on the outage.
