#1 Madrid's Mayor has urged people to stay where they are as they deal with the disaster

With rail, traffic lights, street lights off, you'll stay where you are without choice *snicker*

#2 The power cuts come just days after Spain's power grid ran entirely on renewable energy, including wind, solar and hydro power, for a whole day for the first time on April 16.

#10 Wind and terrestrial solar are just not suitable for the generation of grid power. They're niche solutions for niche problems.

Any electrical grid with a significant share of wind and terrestrial solar power generators will necessarily become unstable because these power sources are unstable.

The "attack" that caused this was not a cyber attack, it was a political attack, namely submission to the Green agenda.
