Hang on. How are we going to go to digital currency if the grid is such complete shit across the globe? How can we charge cars, run utilities and factories and have only a digital currency? We can’t. A blackout means zero commerce with respect to digital currency. No paper currency as a backup. Which then means that any cyberattack will be an attack on the affected country’s monetary system and banking infrastructure.![]()

The comm grid is powered by what?Digital is the communication grid.
A whole different thing than what you are talking about.Digital is the communication grid.
An attack on the scada systems is what I’m talking about. Even if there is a UPS in play, still bad.A whole different thing than what you are talking about.
Electricity goes out the phone still works.
We have not even talked about the backup systems comms have.
Is France price fixing dairy?
Backup systems are poorly maintained and rarely updated. Often they only operate for a short time, if at all. The operators tend to be lazy and unfocused when stress happens. Plans not rehearsed and drilled don’t work.A whole different thing than what you are talking about.

The cell site has maybe 24 hours of battery backup and then generators go out to sites, then you have to fuel them. It is patchwork at best, even with adjacent regions pitching in during emergency relief. If the grid goes down hard for a week things will get chaotic for sure. If it isn't relegated to a 2 state area the backup plans will get overwhelmed.A whole different thing than what you are talking about.

I agree.... You have just made an excellent point of why people should be prepared to sustain themselves for 2 weeks without communication. When it goes really bad.... Who are you going to communicate with ?The cell site has maybe 24 hours of battery backup and then generators go out to sites, then you have to fuel them.

Lesson's learned......Cash registers not working, cc’s not processed.
A wise person always keeps a couple forms of payment available.Lesson's learned......

thanks KZP, great read.
GER had 9 days in Sept with little #wind. Not just Germany, all of Europe. On avg, GER used 2.7GW of its 62GW wind cap.That is a capacity factor of 4.5%. Ouch!
Everyone is worrying that Europe won't meet its electrical needs by 2035. What the elites are failing to tell you, is ..
there won't be as many people to use electricity by 2035, so no worries. take the shot, eat the bugs, the rich have you covered.
That's what they said when they started building nuke plants in the US....My favorite part is where the government claimed all this "green energy" was going to make power bills drop to near zero![]()
Look at what George Westinghouse did to Tesla when, george and JP Morgan found out Tesla was going to give away electricity.That's what they said when they started building nuke plants in the US....
"Power too cheap to meter!."

this type of thinking will have Trudeau label you a right-wing, conspiracy, racist, anti-government type.I know that my thoughts are crazy and insane, but.... here in Manitoba we have a LOT of hydro-electric dams. The gov't built the dams using taxpayer funds and such, over the decades. Add to that, each and every household HAD to be connected to the grid (by law) therefore each and every household ALSO paid for the building of these dams. For years now, we've been generating excess energy, and selling it to numerous Northern U.S. States.
Here's my question. If 'we, the people' bought and paid for the construction and maintenance of these power generating dams.... and have enough to sell to other users.... why are we still getting a bill?
When you purchase a pick-up truck, and over the years pay-it-off.... and then once the debt is paid off and you're still using the truck,,,, do you continue paying the bank?
I think not.
Sure, I get that there is 'maintenance' and such..... but once the initial outlay is paid, why aren't our monthly bills reduced? Hmmmmmmmmmm?
Exactly how insane can I get?
it was also over budget, behind schedule and ultimately failed.Look at what George Westinghouse did to Tesla when, george and JP Morgan found out Tesla was going to give away electricity.

Tesla worked on transmitting free energy through the air on a global scale. When Morgan heard more about Tesla's experiments, he is said to have asked: "If anyone can draw on the power, where do we put the meter?" (In other words, how can we get people to pay for this?) It was the end of Morgan's financial support.Tesla worked on transmitting free energy through the air on a global scale.
