It's the content game. You want to be popular you're going to be a little political. Soon, you belong to the algorithm. If you don't fight it, you end up as Ian Miles Cheong eventually.
You mean Russians tried hacking France, but accidentally hacked grid control computers in Spain. That doesn't seem very likely.
What is likely is that the renewables heavy grid collapsed because it's just not stable because the inputs fluctuate, and keeping it stable is no easy task and there has been several near misses, such as the near blackout in Germany in '21.
There's a vast amount of essays out there that ackshually connecting intermittent sources of energy to the grid is perfectly safe and something such as unexpectedly fast arrival of clouds causing a decrease in solar can't be a problem because you can just fire up gas peaker plants you are, of course, maintaining in running order for just that eventuality.
Obviously, relying on a finite set of known weather-independent power sources is a lot easier than carefully balancing varying power production with demand.
Renewable-heavy grid stability requires many weird, and unnatural approaches. Such as simply heating hot air and blowing it out into the atmosphere. Currently, Czech officials are looking at approvals for about 1 GW worth of 'electricity wasters'.
Luckily, a law was passed to prevent the construction of a gigawatt worth of power-wasting devices..
Reddit has a taken a turn. Racism is now leaking into mainstream subs. I kept Sailer-posting in /r/Europe and getting banned by mods and evading and got myself an IP ban in.. '19 I think. It was apparently lifted, I made a new account and signed in with the same email address that once got banned.
Might be worth looking at the terms & conditions now.
