Blackout Chatter

 Focus ran a piece this AM entitled: 'Blackouts in Winter'. I'd recommend a read.

This centers on the limits of the German grid and how increased usage of electrical heating would draw upon the situation.

Regional blackouts?  Typically in Germany, in a five-year period.....usually from storm activity, you might have one or two blackouts....taking around 30 to 60 minutes to bounce back. 

My humble view, this is the likely outcome of this grid discussion....except instead of a single blackout in the whole winter period....you might have a 30 to 60 period every single week (probably more so on weekends).
