⚡️💬 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.

Fun Fact: Germany ex economic minister from the green socialist party, who is a child book author too has already written a child book explaining how romantic and good for the society blackouts can be.

"Interesting take! While storytelling can offer unique perspectives, I wonder how children might feel about the realities of blackouts. There’s certainly a balance to strike between imagination and practicality! 🌍✨ #ChildrensLiterature #RealityCheck"

I mean when someone needs a blackout to get in touch with their kids and family... It speaks more about them.

I am thankful my son only needs some light, a paper and a pen to draw his Manga characters and I don't need a blackout to stay in touch with him.
