MaybeTrollingUAgain User ID: 76840347 Brazil 02/04/2019 09:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lights will be the lesser of the problems caused by a power outage. Look around you, electricity runs most of the stuff you are looking at, or was used to build it or is necessary to maintain it. Freaking gas pumps, medical devices, telephone towers(cells), everything is connected somehow to electricity. For light just burn something and you'll have it. MaybeTrollingUAgain |

It could happen in an instant. |

I will say this, such a thing would force people to find alternative sources of power. Heavy demand, millions of people and lots of broken infrastructure for components. Someone will discover how to tap zero point. That would spread rapidly. |

Could a grid down be the three days of darkness, as opposed to a darkening of the sun? Could this be global?

You know something, no one really knows what would happen. If you’re looking at a couple of discrete panels and a small $200-class inverter and a few car batteries? Simply keep the charge controller in your metal (Faraday cage) garbage can and short the solar panel leads (not in bright sun, of course!) and don’t worry. |
