This is happening in Europe with frightening regularity. I can't find the latest article I read about it, but this is happening in Spain and it's expected to continue into winter, so you won't be able to heat your home.
That is just sad. I would bet that we see more and more of this as the weather turns colder here in the states! Anyone with electric heat could have big issues!
Ominous stuff. Makes one question whether it really is 'smart' to put all that IoT tech into houses - including electronic locks. Who needs Skynet if the government can't just lock you in for your 14 day 'home isolation' or 'monthly climate-saving weekend at home'.
Something I recall from earlier in the year, possibly COP26 or a different cult meeting, was the intent TPTB have for heating. Noting that many more die from cold than heat, globally.
They wanted to replace gas fed heaters with electric 'heat pumps' in domestic settings. As part of the SDG's or other inverted policy to 'save the planet'. I believe they are going after woodfired options also. Anything that doesn't have a leash.
Now, given the self-inflicted and increasing fragility of the electrical grids, that policy would raise serious questions. The grid we could once depend on is no more, in many places. The assumption that a thirsty electric heater will be able - or allowed - to run is not going to hold up for long. And even if people want to use them, extreme prices will force people to switch them off.
I acknowledge the same is happening with gas in the UK and likely many other places. Small businesses are facing a 10x increase for cooking, etc. An increase that retail just cannot swallow.
Bottom line, they seem intent on forcing the vulnerability you've raised, on everyone. That is ominous.
