I'd love a blackout so people can look up and admire the night sky. It's a beauty many haven't seen.

I got news for them, it is a stupid premise given that there is no climate crisis.

This is just a cover for the blackouts caused by the additional load on the grid by electric cars etc. instead of improving things, just change the narrative

People would be sitting out in their electric cars with the a/c going.

First off, Las Vegas says, "HELLO!!!"

Second, after the 1968 blackout in NY, there was a mini baby boom nine months later.

So climate change? Or overpopulation? Make up your minds.


In New York, I'd need a blackout for those New York women. Woof.

This will result in actual inequality- people that can afford private solar, batteries, and generators will have power when they want/need it and the poor will deal with blackouts. You know, like every other banana republic third world nation.

I have friends that have lived through this in 3rd world countries. When the power comes on you cook dinner, do laundry and take care of any work you have if it is 3am or 3pm.

True story. Dark skies are an exquisite rarity these days. Finding Bortle 1 darkness often involves a hell of a trip.

Clear skies 200 miles from a major city and a pair of binoculars will change your life.

The perseid meteor shower is in a couple weeks on a near-zero moon weekend. That would be a great opportunity.

The occasional blackout would solve a lot of problems in my opinion. I'd like to start with a suggestion of about two weeks for 50% of the country and just flip back and forth. Not sure about climate change but it would weed out the weaker groups. It could be an induced natural selection experiment of sorts.

Can't solve what does not exist
hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. good times create weak men. and weak men create hard times.

less virtue signaling, more vice signaling.

Do it to lefty Austin in the summer. See how fervent they are in their climate change fight with no AC in 100+ weather.
