Why did Spain lose its electric?
The blackout was caused by a “very strong oscillation in the electrical network” that led Spain’s power system to “disconnect from the European system, and the collapse of the Iberian electricity network at 12:38,” according to Eduardo Prieto, director of Spanish transmission system operator Red Eléctrica.(53 mins ago)

Most likely an uncontrolled variation in line voltage/current from some “green” energy source like wind turbines or solar panels that cascaded through the system.

J B Pritzker farted toward Asia instead of Europe and all the wind turbines shut down in Portugal and Spain.

On Steve Bannon’s War Room this morning, his energy expert was on talking about the blackouts.
He dismissed completely any notion of an CME or atmospheric condition causing the blackout, saying either a CME or other atmospheric condition would have covered a much larger area and not be isolated to a relatively isolated area in Europe
His belief is, Spain and Portugal in particular have gone 100% Green New Deal and rely on wind and solar for the majority of their power, which is notoriously unreliable as a primary source of power for an entire country.
If the grids are interconnected, once one country fails, it overloads the grids it’s connected to and can cause a cascading effect.
His bottom line, this was green energy madness run amok and not some natural event like a CME.

FAFO...
FA --> Grid instability caused by too many of these is a well known problem...
FO --> Grid collapse.

“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
