We've been told that these blackouts are coming. Usually when 'they' say something bad is coming......it's coming. I just wonder when we will see the blackouts here? The only difference that I see in the blackout 'stories' is the root cause. Some will be caused by war, trade disputes, weather, green energy mandates, etc. Here's a couple examples:

Here's also a thread that is related:

Anytime you predict a shortage and it happens, someone gets a whole lot of money from that and the price for the average Joe skyrockets. Insiders (elites/politicians) know which companies to invest in and how to short others and make money either way. I think that is at the root cause of all these shortages, while other 'reasons' are blamed for it. Since almost everyone relies on energy, it's ripe for targeting, even more-so than healthcare that was attacked by Obama. Remember when Biden-2.0 said utility costs 'will necessarily have to increase?' Gee, was he a prophet or was this planned? No matter how much money they leach from the middle class, it seems that it'll never be enough. But, I digress.....
I just wonder WHEN these blackouts will affect us here in America? I believe California has already experienced this due to 'fires' and other places have been affected short term due to weather. But I wonder when blackouts will be the new norm? I have heard our local energy leaders say that they ARE coming and that in most cases, they will be unannounced. However, they say they should only last 2-3 hours, but perhaps up to 12 hours. Um, OK.....sure. If they're unannounced, how many people are going to be caught unprepared? Gas stations out, banks out, internet down, heat/air conditioner out, restaruants down, etc. If people see a storm coming they will get ready for it, but if these blackouts are random.....how many will be screwed? If I'm being honest, I like a heads up even though I'd be OK either way. When a storm is coming I make sure my car is full of gas, the gas cans are ALL full, the laundry is done, the house is clean, the dishes are done, the backup power is ready to go and close by, etc. I think we all appreciate a heads up on such a situation.
I'm convinced that this will happen and it will likely happen this winter, especially since the 'news' is predicting a snowy winter. I also think that after the November elections, things will get dicey, at least until the new blood takes office in January. Those leaving office usually like to create chaos on their way out.
