    Most of the time power outages are causes by power lines getting taken out by falling branches, cars crashing into utility poles, ice build up, wind. I think it’s great you have renewable energy sources but pretty sure it’s irrelevant.

      Renewables are more evenly distributed, which means power transfer/substations can reroute more easily than when all the power comes from a single point of failure.

      It’s not as relevant, but it is relevant.

      Ya we have power lines and trees too… we’ve got ice storms and all that fun stuff too. Tornados sometimes just for fun.

      Still don’t lose power for more than a few hours.

        Depends on the severity of the storm, and where it is. Most of Northern America is equipped for power outages. If a power outage extends over half a day something wacky happened.
