Power blackout – the unsuspected apocalypse?
Blackout: looking to the past is definitely not helpful.
“When assessing whether a blackout – a large-scale power cut – could become reality in the coming years, looking at the past or the present tells us little, because fundamental changes in power supply, power generation and power grids are only just beginning.”
Ing. Walter Schiefer, former director of the Feistritzwerke utility – a “veteran” of the solar scene and a remarkable person of a kind you do not meet all that often – has been working for years on security of supply and decentralised systems. In other words, on how every individual, every business and every municipality can prepare for such a situation with 100% renewable energy. Walter Schiefer has the solutions and is especially happy to support municipalities, businesses and individuals in this.
