There's hardly a day that goes by now, with either commercial or public German TV chatting over potential blackouts.
Someone yesterday started to point out in a three-day blackout....that most all local grocery operations, gas stations, and businesses would be closed down. In the case of grocery stores.....without back-up power, the freezers and refrigeration areas would fail....food would spoil....and getting resupplied would take two or three days (assuming the warehouse had back-up power).
All of this paused my wife (German in nature) if her company would even function....which I tried to avoid answering the question.
Adding to this dilemma.....with most trains running by electrical means....the Bahn network would shutdown in that affected area.
Easily turning into a major disaster, if the power went off for a day or two? Yeah.
Trying to say the whole country would go this way? No. I would suggest a fairly confined region....anywhere from a quarter of a state to an entire state is the likely scenario to occur.
