⚡️💬 MY THOUGHTS - Since the blackout that paralyzed all of Spain yesterday starting at 12:30 PM, no official explanation has yet been given by the Spanish electricity grid operator. This silence raises questions, especially in the face of such a serious event. Has it become too sensitive to admit that incidents like this might be linked to an all-green energy model — one imposed without real debate and presented as a miracle solution?

Flying over Spain, one can see vast fields of solar panels covering entire regions. Behind this attractive image of modern ecology lies a major vulnerability. This energy production is entirely dependent on weather conditions, making the power grid much more unstable and unable to reliably balance supply and demand on its own.

My theory is simple: publicly acknowledging that this energy model creates a risk of massive blackouts would be a political failure. It would call into question the entire narrative surrounding the European Green Deal and the push for rapid energy transitions. To avoid opening that debate, some might prefer to delay or withhold clear explanations from the public.

But if this silence continues, it risks further eroding the already fragile trust between citizens and those making major energy decisions on their behalf.

What do you think? Are we witnessing the first visible consequences of a rushed, ideology-driven energy transition? I’m genuinely curious to hear your thoughts — I’ve met a lot of sharp minds on Nostr.

We know that when it happened, Spain was exporting gigawatts of energy to the rest of Europe. The issue, therefore, was not "not enough electricity," which makes the blackout harder to grasp (at least for me). But since the grid needs to be balanced, even too much power can cause trouble.

I do agree with you that the lack of information we have on the matter is alarming and suspicious. Our grid is running at the limits of its capacity and is very fragile, and the instability of wind and solar sources is definitely not making things better

Not necessarily, what would you do with it if you have suddenly extra gigawatts of energy in the grid?

I honestly think that the problem was not created by too little energy, but too much energy, something the grid historically did not expect to be happening or at least not on this scale.
