Recently there was also a blackout in England. Har-har. Whoever it
was that was bragging that "in Europe, we don't have massive power
blackouts" can now eat crow. Should've kept his mouth shut!

Last week we have one big blackout covering half Sweden and
half Denmark. 3 big powerlines was down for service and
at least 3 nuclear power plants also down for service in Sweden.
Then one nuclear power plant had some minor problem and stopped,
and a couple of minutes later a big switch failed in a storm
and two other nuclear power plants got disconnected from the grid.
That was to much for the grid and it break down.

I can't speak for others, but I treat every "fact" from w-tom as just
an opinion until I have verified it for myself. I suggest you do the
same, not for just w_tom but for everyone.

But it was a socialist blackout, and that's good for the people, just
ask Sloman ;-)

Yeah, that was who it was. "We don't have blackouts in Europe."
Right. He'll have to eat crow now! Heh-heh!

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Yeah, they mentioned that one in the article, URL above. With all the
media attention to blackouts since the 'Big One' in the U.S., it's
going to be hard for those countries and states to avoid the media
attention, every one of them will now be under the eye of everyone. I
kind of like that because it levels the field a bit. Those of us who
have recently been under threat of blackouts, such as California in
2000 and 2001, are now gloating. It's called schadenfreude in German.
