      afaik power never really goes out in western europe unless something happens to the infrastructure (e.g. lightning strike or tree falling on a power line), what instead happens when we run out of generation capacity is that prices skyrocket.

      In my house? Pretty much never. We have solar as well as a grid connection and can connect a generator as well.

      In fact, I even have a second stand alone portable solar system that we take camping. It’s not powerful enough to heat a house… but it is powerful enough for pretty much everything else. And I can heat my house with a fire if it came to that.

      Redundancy is the name of the game if you’re worried about reliability.
