  yes, I live in Spain. Still don't get the cryptic comment, though, are you claiming Spain will get more blackouts because the EU increases solar energy? that the EU will get the blackouts? that solar energy causes blackouts?

    Solar, and renewables in general, are very unstable. You need nuclear or fossil to stabilize the grid. From that page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Iberian_Peninsula_blackout#Investigations_of_potential_causes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Iberian_Peninsula_blackou... I'm pro-solar, but by EU politicians sugar-coating it things are getting out of control. Worst part, it seems there were warnings for months. But since it was raised by the opposition they were ignored.

    See sibling comment. Seguimos siendo un país de gitanos que no se ha adaptado a las necesidades infraestructurales, organizacionales, legales o sociales de las renovables. I'm bullish on solar in the long-term, but I expect further problems here (including outages) in the short- to mid-term. I'd love to be wrong on this, though. BTW, with a name like "lentil_soup" how could you not live in Spain? ;-)
