    . . .

    BOTH countries went black about the same time, even
    though their grids are not really connected. This
    kinda makes the case for some kind of sabotage.

    Took about 10 hours to get maybe half the power back
    on in (much of) Spain. Meanwhile NOTHING worked ... no
    phones, no fuel, no refrig for the food, no trains, no
    planes, no banking, no net. There were panic runs on
    the food stores - empty shelves where the non-perishable
    items were. Old transistor radios were the only way a
    lot of people even knew what was going on.

    I'm sure Vlad was laughing all day.

    Conservatives sneer at my "woke"
    solar panels and electric car but during
    all our recent power grid failures they
    kept my house running and my car on the
    road.

    TDS still remains an un-cured brain disease alas .....

    Having SOME solar capability really isn't a bad
    thing. The cost to replace yer 120/240v/200a utility
    plan is rather extreme however. Those PV cells don't
    last forever either, much less the battery bank.

    However being able to deal with even a 20 or 30
    amp load for 12 hours DOES give you an advantage.
    Wiring the fridge to that will REALLY save you
    a lot of money. A few LED bulbs and you're set.

    Being able to deal with that does not require
    a huge bank of PV cells. You do need a good
    battery bank however. A number of entities sell
    decent cells - and you can even buy the good
    old Edison batteries (but YOU have to mind the
    electrolyte levels). The electrical logic to
    switch SOME lines/appliances during a failure ...
    not TOO hard, but manual is a lot cheaper.

    Oh wait ... I replied to your Trump-trashing
    with a useful technical answer ... sorry ...
    you can get back to your foaming and bashing
    your head against the walls ...........

    Oh, what DO you do if the Trump Plan actually
    BEARS SOME FRUIT six months from now ? :-)

    Like the Central Park Five, whom Trump
    STILL wants to see executed despite the fact
    they have been proven to be innocent.

    The notion of secure communications has been known for a long
    time. Along with the notion of making secure communications
    insecure. Computers were invented after breaking codes was
    important in the war.

    With computers came to ability of unbreakable codes. Therefore
    the USA outlawed effective computer encryption so we could break
    codes as easily as possible. That has been the overriding concern.

    Computer codes are done in software. Hardware encryption is an
    order of magnitude faster, therefore subject to endless export
    controls. We could make a PC with encryption circuits embedded in
    hard drives that make the devices completely unreadable without a
    key. That would make your data far safer. And it would make
    police seizing laptops irrelevant because they cannot read all
    those nefarious criminal secrets.

    NSA is devoted to preventing secure computers so it can crack
    computers. They know hackable flaws that they leave secrets until
    a criminal finds the flaw and hacks for criminal profit. They
    also force installation of back doors in communication hardware
    which are available for criminal exploits.
