For those who can understand German.

This is an official report commissioned by the German Bundestag in 2011, describing the scenarios that could be expected in the event of a prolonged nationwide power outage lasting from several hours to several days. The reading is somewhat sobering and should thoroughly disillusion any optimist who imagines that this is an unusual but easily manageable event with the charm of a camping vacation and campfire romance. The cascading effects and consequences are already after a short time for the state and its organs and services as well as the supply structures no longer controllable, the long-term consequences after elimination of the blackout absolutely catastrophic and future-changing. Supply and security for the population are to be regarded as total failures - already after a discouragingly short time.

I expect that this winter there will be at least announced, intentional intermittent power shutdowns of a few hours a day in at least some regions.

A private broadcaster's news this evening also reported that shorter local blackouts in the power grids of smaller towns and communities have been clustering in Germany in recent months. I have posted many times that the number of severe near-disasters at the continental power grid level, which could only be averted at the last moment, has increased significantly from year to year for about a decade or more. The federal government is bitterly silent on this issue and refuses to provide any information. Only the dumbing down propaganda, with tips on the level of weekly magazines for the dementia-stricken Aunt Frieda, is running like clockwork and has been expanded further and further..Alles klar auf der Andrea Doria!

The responsible ministry, already under Merkel, planned already early, with the creation of the technical conditions for that electric cars can be abused at charging stations remotely controlled as intermediate power storages and feed their power from their batteries back into the public net, if need exists, where as the now responsible secretary of state in the economics ministry pleased the scientists with the revelation that politics now succeeded, finally, to declare the concept of base load security in the power supply as obsolete, and to secure as a substitute the future power supply of Germany by the mere fact that the current political leadership of new, future-oriented people is mastering the problem by their "new and superior mindset" (original quote), by which probably - at least this would be to be hoped - the electrification of the brain owners who are spouting this stupid nonsense is meant. For winning electricity from burning stupid brains, Germany has a very huge supply, we could easily live over the winter, and then for years to come.

Wanted or unwanted, shorter or longer blackouts in Germany are a very plausible and realistic scenario now. Add to it the chance that Russia is cyberattacking Germany's critical infrastructure, too. They do it sionce many years already, to test our vulnerabilities. Absolutely possible that now they attack to strike and cause damage, to destabilise the country and the public mood.


Prepare yourself. Winter is coming - and this time this is no quote from a TV series, but a real threat. If things go badly this winter, things really could become extremely nasty over here. Thanks to El Nina, they predict this winter to be unusually cold. Lets hope they are wrong. But El Nina is known to do this to Europe: colder than usual winters. And then, the Russians.
