“For us, the situation involved more than just a loss of electricity. The outage also knocked out our mobile network, leaving us without any form of communicationReally? What doe he think powers the celll networks?!
Maybe some will go back to land lines; at least with them you have some limited battery life.

Whatever the problem, the solution is obvious - more migrants, more austerity, higher taxes

The “eco” power sources need to be synced with the grid frequency. In the USA, if the grid is off by as little as 0.5 Hz, it is enough to trip safety circuitry. Agree. My solar inverter beeps and disconnects from the grid whenever it detects that the grid power deviates too far from 60 Hz. That happens once every 2 months or so. The idea is to protect my home's electrical system from dirty power.

I find Freepers are very educated in such matters.
I also enjoy the Monday afternoon humor... from the wise ass Freepers.

Breaking news: A U.S. judge has ordered Trump to turn the lights back on in Spain. Appeals certainly to follow.
