I hope it will be fixed soon.
Here in Belgium, we are still relying on nuclear powerplants to provide us with most of our electricity. Since all but one have been shut down because they weren't safe anymore, our governent forsees a huge shortage on electricity when winter will hit. To save as much electricity as possible, they came up with a plan to cut off the electricity in parts of the country during daytime. They divided the country in zones, with a big city in the middle. The first zone to be cutt off is the one that is the furtest from the city, the second one is a little closer... all to make sure the big cities probably won't have to deal with the powerdown.
And guess where I live... We'll be among the first to have to manage withut electricity.
Most people go to work (in the cities) during daytime, but not me. I spend my days at home.
Fortunately we have a fireplace , so we can burn wood to stay warm inside, but most people's heating systems are powered by electricity, so they won't be able to turn on the heating in the middle of winter.

When they first announced it, I started thinking about what would or wouldn't be possible in case this worst case scenario would really happen. And to be honest, I was shocked when I realized how much we depend on electricity these days. Being cut off means no computer, phone, TV or sound system. We'll even have to get ourself some battery powered lamps. No electricity also means we can't cook food. Fortunately we have a small cook8ng stove that works on gas for when we take roadtrips with the van. No fridge, and even worse: no freezer. Right now it is completely filled with leftovers from the gardening season, but without electricity, we won't be able to keep it frozen - and it's more than we can consume. We will have to start handing it out to others or at least half will end up in the trascan. That would be such a waste.
On top.of that, if they cut off the entire village, there won't be any working ATM's close by.
They are working on a solution using 25-year old systems to generate energy. Even if they get those old fasioned systems to work, I doubt they will be able to gendrzte enough to spare us all the trouble.
I must admit it was a real eye opener...
Somerimes I'm convinced they are overreacting and that all those measures won't be necessary... but then I drive to town, where literally every street has a ridiculous amount of (electric powered) Christmas lights that are on 24/7 and I wonder if people are really thzt ignorant....
