They're hiding something: All of Europe was 'seconds' away from total blackout...

The recent massive blackout across Spain, Portugal, France, and Belgium has sparked new debates about the state of Europe’s energy infrastructure, especially as these countries have moved toward renewable energy.

We’ll get into that shortly…

On Monday, Spain and Portugal experienced a massive power outage. Spain lost about 60 percent of its electricity within about five seconds. France and Belgium were also hit, and everybody experienced some level of disruption to their transportation, communication, and overall daily life.

At first, rumors spread that the blackout was caused by some “rare cosmic phenomenon.” But that was quickly ruled out.

Investigations have also ruled out cyberattacks and weather-related events. The early findings suggest that a sudden loss in solar power in southwestern Spain is what triggered everything.

This incident shines a light on the growing debate over renewable energy sources and not having proper backup systems.

Think about it: this small little change instantly impacted four countries and nearly brought down two of them.

Spain is one of Europe’s leaders in renewable energy, with over 75% of its electricity coming from renewable sources at the time of the outage.

Net Zero isn’t reality, but that’s exactly what Spain is pushing.

Canada’s new PM is also calling for “net zero.”

Now, Spain claims they’ve “learned lessons” from the eco-disaster.

Hopefully they learned that not having proper energy storage or backup from gas and nuclear made the grid vulnerable to those sudden drops. Because if they didn’t learn that simple fact, it’ll happen again.

In the meantime, there’s something they’re hiding. And if this blackout does turn out to be the big green mess many predict, it makes sense why they’re burying this new information. They want to avoid triggering major panic across Europe.

According to journalist Michael Shellenberger, the entire continent of Europe was just seconds away from a full-blown blackout.

In this informative X thread, Michael breaks down just how close Europe came to going completely dark.

Michael Shellenberger:

This is truly bananas: all of Europe appears to have been seconds away a continent-wide blackout.

The grid frequency across continental Europe plunged to 49.85 hertz — just a hair above the red-line collapse threshold.

The normal operating frequency for Europe’s power grid is 50.00 Hz, kept with an extremely tight margin of ±0.1 Hz. Anything outside ±0.2 Hz triggers major emergency actions.

If the frequency had fallen just another 0.3 Hz — below 49.5 Hz — Europe could have suffered a system-wide cascading blackout.

At that threshold, automatic protective relays disconnect major power plants, and collapse accelerates.

And it’s disturbingly easy to imagine multiple scenarios where that could have occurred…

Renewables don’t risk blackouts, said the media. But they did and they do. The physics are simple. And now, as blackouts in Spain strand people in elevators, jam traffic, and ground flights, it’s clear that too little “inertia” due to excess solar resulted in system collapse.

You can read Michael’s entire piece here.

As we mentioned earlier, it’s becoming clear to many that green energy played a major — if not the leading — role in the power outage. The EU’s shift from cheap, effective coal is likely straining the system.

EA Daily:

[…] Spain’s green energy could only aggravate the situation, which led to a blackout. According to Red Electrica, the capacity of solar power plants at 12.25−12.30 was 17.8 GW — 55% of the total generation in the country. Another 11% accounted for wind farms (2.1 GW).

The Daily Mail and The Telegraph note that the problem with solar and wind power plants is that, unlike coal and gas generation, they do not provide synchronous inertia that stabilizes the frequency in the network. And this made the Spanish power grid extremely vulnerable to sudden fluctuations caused by temperature fluctuations and disconnection of the interconnector with France. Red Eléctrica confirmed a sharp drop in frequency.

When the frequency in the network dropped due to problems on the interconnection, solar power plants could not compensate for the imbalance. Their operation depends on inverters, which automatically turn off when the frequency deviates from the norm, aggravating the collapse.

As a result, the capacity of power plants at 12.40 fell almost threefold — to 6 GW. At the same time, the capacity of coal and gas power plants did not exceed 2.5 GW at 12.30, and at 12.40 it dropped to 1.1 GW.

Nobody’s saying we shouldn’t be smart about conserving energy or protecting our environment.
Of course we should. But this radical “green energy” agenda is not about smart conservation, is it? No. It’s about a reckless ideology. When you gut reliable power sources and replace them with unstable, unpredictable alternatives, you’re not “saving the planet.”

Instead, you put millions of lives at risk, as this blackout just proved.

What makes it even more outrageous is that we already have one of the safest, cleanest, and most powerful energy sources sitting right at our fingertips: nuclear energy.

If the globalists really cared about cutting emissions and protecting the planet, they would be pushing nuclear power. But oddly enough, they’re not, and that’s the biggest red flag of them all.

The green agenda has always been about power, and the elites will happily leave you freezing in the dark to get it.
