In WELT today, there's a article written by Kristian Frigelj, on the topic of potential blackouts in Germany coming up. I strongly recommend a read of the article, if you get a copy of the newspaper (Wed).
Basically, the suggestion is there to start preparing yourself not just for a 8-hour blackout, or a 24-hour blackout....but potentially up to 72 hours.
My belief in this? If you had some arctic situation, with temperatures lower than 0 C, and millions of people in some region trying to augment their natural gas heat with electrical heat.....then yeah, its possible.
Normally, no.....it's not a realistic scenario.
Politically turning into a 'scandal' situation? No one will say much over a 8-hour or 12-hour outage. Once you go to a 24-hour situation, then you have Germans asking stupid questions.
