„Entweder wird diese Politik korrigiert oder wir landen tatsächlich bei Verhältnissen, wo es dann zu Unruhen kommen wird, weil viele Leute plötzlich vor den Trümmern ihrer Existenz stehen und nichts mehr haben“ – Dr. Björn Peters im Interview Für den Energieökonom Dr. Björn Peters ist die aktuelle Energiepolitik gleichzusetzen mit „politischem Vandalismus.“ Gleichzeitig würde die die Energiewende zu einer der größten Umverteilungen von unten nach oben seit der Feudalzeit führen, so Peters: Über 600 Milliarden Euro wurden bereits ausgegeben, und die Kosten steigen weiter. Dabei zahlen die Bürger jährlich 1500 Euro für eine ineffiziente Energiepolitik, die die Industrie in den Ruin treibt. Seine Warnung: Ohne einen Kurswechsel drohen wirtschaftlicher Niedergang, soziale Spannungen und eine zunehmende Gefährdung der Versorgungssicherheit.

In dieser Folge des Blackout 1x1 widmen wir uns kurz und knapp der Phase 2 eines Blackouts – dem Ausfall der Telekommunikation. Warum funktionieren Handy, Internet und digitale Kommunikation bei einem großflächigen Stromausfall nur mehr eingeschränkt oder gar nicht mehr? Warum steht die Telekommunikation auch nach dem Netzwiederaufbau nicht sofort wieder vollumfänglich zur Verfügung und welche Auswirkungen hat das auf Bevölkerung, Gemeinden, Einsatzorganisationen sowie auf Versorgung, Produktion und Logistik? Ein kompakter Wissenssnack rund um die Abhängigkeit unserer modernen Gesellschaft von einer funktionierenden Telekommunikation und Stromversorgung.

The Iran conflict contains dueling narratives. Iran says it repelled the attack. Israel says it decimated the nuclear program. The US says it brokered peace. So, how do you find out what actually happened? That's where Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) can provide valuable information to the public.  Eliot Higgins built Bellingcat from a Leicester living room blog into the world's most influential open source intelligence organization. Sir Richard Dearlove and Rosanna Lockwood sit down with him to find out how OSINT cuts through the war of narratives on Iran, Ukraine, and the fronts nobody's covering. Plus: why AI is making the truth harder to find, not easier, and why Higgins won't set foot in the United States right now.

Sirenen heulen, das Handy warnt, der Strom fällt aus - und was passiert dann? Durch den Krieg in Europa, Cyberangriffe und Extremwetter hat sich die Sicherheitslage in Deutschland deutlich verschärft. Deshalb soll das Land jetzt krisenfester werden. Mit einem neuen Pakt für den Bevölkerungsschutz will die Bundesregierung zehn Milliarden Euro in Zivilschutz und Vorsorge investieren. Doch viele Experten und Hilfsorganisationen bezweifeln, dass die Pläne ausreichen. Wie gut sind wir auf Blackouts, Katastrophen und Co vorbereitet? Was macht Staat und Gesellschaft krisenfest, genügen die Vorschläge der Regierung und wo sollten wir selbst aktiv werden? Darüber spricht Moderatorin Jessy Trommer mit der Sicherheitsexpertin Helena Quis, Michael Schnatz vom ASB, Lars Gerhold, Psychologieprofessor an der TU Braunschweig und Peter Aurnhammer, Gründer und Geschäftsführer des Deutschen Schutzraum-Zentrums. Podcast-Tipp: Die Großen Fragen in 10 Minuten Wer überlebt die Apokalypse? Die Prepper-Szene bereitet sich konzentriert auf den Tag X vor - den Tag, an dem ein Dritter Weltkrieg oder eine andere Apokalypse den Planeten unbewohnbar machen könnte. Aber kann man sich auf so etwas überhaupt vorbereiten? Kann man das überleben? Das Leben hat bisher jede vergangene Apokalypse, jedes Massensterben überstanden. Irgendeine Spezies hat es immer geschafft. Doch was ist das Geheimrezept, um Katastrophen zu überstehen? Welche erfolgreichen Strategien hält das Leben bereit? Diese Episode widmet sich den Grundprinzipien von Leben und Überleben, der Frage, wie flexibel Leben eigentlich ist, und was das Wort "lebensfeindlich" überhaupt bedeutet. https://www.ardsounds.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:a4cbcaaaab41cfae/

Solar, wind, fossil fuels, nuclear. Energy makes the world go round. But, on an ever-warming planet, the question of where it comes from is increasingly urgent. As well as the green energy transition and the climate crisis, geopolitical tensions and energy sovereignty are also shaping the debate. On this episode of Filling the Sink we're looking at the state of play in Catalonia, just over a year on from the blackout that hit the Iberian Peninsula. Catalonia is still heavily reliant on nuclear power and lags behind Spain and the EU on renewable energy, with only around 20% of electricity coming from green sources. From a low base, solar capacity is now expanding and energy communities are growing rapidly in Catalonia. Batteries are emerging as a key solution to balancing supply and demand, although progress remains limited. Lorcan Doherty is joined by Cillian Shields with additional reporting from Telma Altes Safont.

Das Ölembargo von US-Präsident Donald Trump lässt Kubas Wirtschaft kollabieren. Der Tourismus bricht ein und die Menschen leiden. Das ist genau das, was die USA und ihr Präsident wollen. Die Zahlen sprechen eine deutliche Sprache: im Jahr 2018 sind noch ca. fünf Millionen Touristen nach Kuba gekommen, im März 2026 waren es gerade nur noch ca. 35.000. Seit 2021 sind insgesamt rund 850.000 Menschen von der Insel geflohen. Dafür gibt es viele Gründe: Hyperinflation, Blackouts, leere Apotheken. Und Donald Trump machte das Leben im Januar 2026 mit einer Executive Order noch komplizierter: Kuba sei eine außergewöhnliche Bedrohung für die nationale Sicherheit. Auch US-Außenminister Marco Rubio treibt die Eskalation weiter voran und verhandelt indirekt gleichzeitig mit Raúl Castros Enkel. In dieser Ausgabe von Trumps Amerika spricht Host Juan Moreno mit Marc Pitzke, langjähriger USA-Korrespondent des SPIEGEL. Die beiden debattieren: Wer trägt die Schuld am Kollaps? Wie lange hält die Insel noch? Und was kommt danach?

Silicon Bites Ep333 | 2026-05-07 | Z-patriots are losing their minds, telling Russia that 1917 is coming again. But history does not repeat in such convenient ways – but it may well rhyme. Moscow and St Petersburg cut off again from mobile internet, forty regions blacked out, and the pro-war cheerleaders crack.It is the morning of 5 May 2026. A woman in Moscow wakes up, picks up her phone, and stares at the screen. No notifications. No SMS. No app pings. Nothing. She opens the camera and starts filming herself, in the kitchen, in real time, narrating the moment her capital city has been disconnected from the world.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

5/16: Ivana Stradner reports that Vladimir Putin is living in a bunker, fearing a coup as he loses on the battlefield. To maintain control, the Kremlin has implemented severe internet blackouts and banned Western social media. Stradnersuggests the West should provide Russians with more VPN systems.

“Kim on a Whim” spotlights viral footage from independent journalist Nick Shirley documenting harsh conditions in Cuba, where he claims he was briefly targeted by authorities while exposing daily life under communism. The segment details widespread power outages, crumbling healthcare infrastructure, and extreme fuel costs, painting a bleak picture of life in Havana, including reports of surgeries performed without electricity. The hosts use the story to argue that socialist and communist systems—citing examples like Venezuela—consistently fail despite being promoted by progressive politicians in the U.S. They connect these conditions to broader political debates, criticizing figures like Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama for supporting candidates aligned with democratic socialism, while warning that younger voters may not fully understand the real-world consequences of those policies.

A shocking update on Iran's nuclear ambitions, a potential deal on the table, and a fiery clash with the Vatican. This episode dives into global stakes, moral leadership, and the high-risk game unfolding right now.

Die Energiewende nimmt Fahrt auf: mehr Solarstrom, mehr Wärmepumpen, mehr Elektrofahrzeuge. Dafür ist das Schweizer Stromnetz nicht gebaut. Doch der Ausbau verläuft schleppend. Steigt die Gefahr eines Blackouts? Wie gut helfen neue Speichersysteme? Und wieso kommen die Leitungen nicht in den Boden? Widerstand gegen Freileitungen – umstrittene Erdkabel Kaum ein Leitungsprojekt bleibt ohne Widerstand. Im Wallis oder im Aargauer Reusstal wehren sich Gemeinden und Interessengruppen gegen neue und höhere Masten. Ihre Forderung: die Leitung in den Boden verlegen. Doch Swissgrid warnt: Erdkabel seien teurer, technisch anspruchsvoller und gefährdeten die Netzstabilität. Kritiker halten dagegen: Mit moderner Technik liessen sich auch Erdkabel sicher betreiben. Die Schweiz will bis 2050 weitgehend auf fossile Energien verzichten. Der Strombedarf steigt – gleichzeitig wird die Produktion immer volatiler. Solarstrom aus Tausenden dezentralen Anlagen ersetzt schrittweise Atomkraftwerke und ergänzt die Wasserkraft. Doch dafür ist das heutige Stromnetz nicht gebaut. In der Leitstelle der Swissgrid zeigt sich: Produktion und Verbrauch müssen immer häufiger aktiv gesteuert werden. Die nationale Übertragungsnetz-Betreiberin plant deshalb Milliardeninvestitionen in neue Kapazitäten, doch viele Projekte verzögern sich über Jahre. Das Verteilnetz unter Druck Nicht nur das Übertragungsnetz gerät unter Druck. Ein grosser Kraftakt zur Bewältigung der Energiewende findet im Schweizer Verteilnetz statt. Es umfasst über 200'000 Kilometer Leitungen und wird betrieben von rund 600 regionalen Elektrizitätswerken. In Quartieren wurden die Netze einst für Kühlschrank und Herd dimensioniert – heute kommen immer mehr Wärmepumpen, Elektroautos und Solaranlagen hinzu. Die Kosten drohen zu explodieren. Überfordert der Solarboom das Netz? Vor allem der anhaltende Solarboom bringt das System an Grenzen. An sonnigen Tagen produzieren Solaranlagen bereits heute mehr Strom, als gleichzeitig verbraucht wird. Künftig soll es noch deutlich mehr sein. Diese Einspeisespitzen vollständig ins Netz aufzunehmen, wäre teuer und oft unnötig, finden Netzbetreiber und Experten. Batterien statt teurer Netzausbau Ein Ausweg sind flexible Tarife und vor allem Batteriespeicher. Im Übertragungsnetz können Grossbatterien, wie die geplante weltgrösste Redox-Flow-Batterie im Aargau, eine wichtige Pufferfunktion übernehmen. In Quartieren und in Häusern können Batteriespeicher einen überteuerten Netzausbau verhindern.

listen without ads on www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Wednesday! Still coming down from the Dopeywood high and talk about productivity, procrastination, and trying to get back on track with the Dopey fitness challenge. Getting older, body image, and whether drastic measures like Ozempic are worth it. We read a wild listener email about someone accidentally receiving a kilo of black tar heroin in the mail and dumping it around Alphabet City, and react to what we would have done in that situation. Then  play a voicemail from a listener who shares a brutal story about accidentally burning his dick with farming chemicals while high,. And a bit of DTF St. Louis. We go through Spotify comments, connect with the Dopey Nation, and shout out listeners before bringing on comedian Allie Macofsky. With Ali, we get into nicotine addiction, vaping vs cigarettes, and the weird logic of quitting one thing by picking up another. We talk about early sobriety, relationships, and what it's like to be young in recovery. Ali shares how her drinking escalated quickly in her late teens, including blackouts, risky behavior, and crashing her car, and how she first went to AA just to get her family off her back. We hear how she realized she couldn't control her drinking, got sober at 20, and what it was like working the steps early on. We also talk about stepping away from recovery, becoming depressed, getting on medication, and eventually returning to meetings and finding relief again. The conversation touches on thoughts about drinking again, curiosity around psychedelics, and what it means to stay sober long-term while building a life and career. All that and a little bit more on this classically alcoholic new episode of dopey! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eben Brown of Fox News Radio reports that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has effectively halted as tensions with Iran continue, with ongoing disputes tied to transit fees and broader regional instability. He explains that any ceasefire arrangements remain fragile, complicated by unclear negotiating partners inside Iran and competing militant factions like Hezbollah and the IRGC. The discussion turns to Israel, Lebanon, and the difficulty of disarming Hezbollah due to its deep political integration within Lebanon's government structure. Brown also addresses information control inside Iran, noting widespread internet blackouts and the limited effectiveness of tools like Starlink in penetrating government jamming and infrastructure restrictions. The segment closes with broader reflections on communication suppression and modern warfare dynamics.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Like all Israelis, Fabian is experiencing the ongoing US-Israel war against Iran first-hand. We hear that his area of the country has been more battered of late, and that his onsite reporting from a crater caused by a several-hundred-kilogram warhead yesterday. We turn to the IDF's airstrikes on Iran and what it is targeting now that the vast majority of military targets have been struck. Who turned out the lights in Iran yesterday? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that Israel would capture additional territory in southern Lebanon to expand a security zone on Israel’s northern border, as the Israel Defense Forces expanded its ground operation against the Hezbollah terror group. Fabian explains what this could look like. We learn about the IDF's Alipinist Unit -- IDF soldiers on skis -- who conducted a rare border crossing in snowy mountains from Syria to Lebanon. The IDF is pulling out the Menashe Regional Brigade’s 941st “Netzah Israel” Battalion, a reserve unit made up mostly of former soldiers of the Kfir Brigade’s ultra-Orthodox Netzah Yehuda Battalion, from the West Bank. We learn why. And finally, we hear what is happening on the ground in Gaza as operations continue there. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with energy analyst and commentator Kathryn Porter for a wide-ranging conversation on Britain's energy crisis, the true cost of Net Zero, and the growing risk of blackouts.We examine the rapid transformation of Britain's energy system, the push towards renewables, and the unintended consequences of dismantling reliable baseload power. Porter explains why the UK grid has become increasingly fragile, why electricity prices remain among the highest in the developed world, and how energy policy is now colliding with economic reality.The conversation explores the technical limits of wind and solar, the challenges of storage and grid stability, and the risks created by over-reliance on intermittent power sources. We also discuss nuclear energy, gas, and the geopolitical pressures shaping energy markets, from supply shocks to global competition for resources.Finally, we debate the political incentives driving Net Zero policy, the widening gap between rhetoric and engineering reality, and whether Britain is sleepwalking into an energy crisis that could carry serious economic and social consequences.A hard-headed conversation about energy, economics, and whether Britain's climate ambitions are colliding with the physical limits of the grid.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH THE EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshall/p/the-dark-truth-utility-companies?r=18lfab&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction 01:06 What Net Zero Actually Means02:50 Deindustrialisation and Offshoring Emissions05:00 Why Politicians Treat Net Zero as Dogma07:27 Are Renewables Really Cheap?10:48 Why Wind and Solar Need Gas Backup14:12 The Hidden Risks to the Power Grid17:30 Nuclear Power: The Energy Britain Should Be Building21:15 How Energy Policy Is Destroying UK Industry27:08 The Myth of Cheap Green Energy33:44 Blackouts, Rationing and Grid Fragility40:16 Why Britain Is Losing Energy Security48:06 Global Emissions vs Britain's Tiny Contribution55:10 Why China and Others Aren't Following Net Zero1:10:59 Electrification: Can the Grid Actually Cope?1:13:05 AI Data Centres and Future Electricity Demand1:15:00 Britain's Ageing Gas Fleet and Closure Risk1:20:34 Final Reflections on Britain's Energy Future Hosted on Acast.

In this lively **Jeep Talk Show Roundtable**, host Tony and the crew dive into portable power solutions for overlanding, emergency outages, and Jeep adventures. Celebrating **over 700 uploads** and **562,000+ views** on YouTube — plus **16 years** of bringing Jeep enthusiasts together — the discussion kicks off with Tony's frustration over his aging **Jackery** unit (5-6 years old) and its non-replaceable batteries, sparking a rant on engineered obsolescence. The group shares real-world experiences and setups: - Jackery for basic phone charging during Texas blackouts - DIY battery + inverter builds (like Renogy components) for better fixability and larger capacity - **EcoFlow** systems with high-capacity banks, app control, fast alternator charging, and seamless generator integration — even running AC for hours! - Jump starters, small phone packs, and vehicle inverters as simple backups - **Premier Power Welder** on Jeeps: an under-hood beast that doubles as a 2300W generator for trail-side welding, powering tools, fridges, or even blenders (margaritas included!) Expect laughs, debates on solar limitations, tips for avoiding popped breakers, and shoutouts to brands like Redarc, Goal Zero, and Bluetti. Whether you're prepping for blizzards, off-grid camping, or just keeping your phone alive on the trail, this episode is packed with honest Jeep community advice. If you're into Jeeps, overlanding, portable power stations (Jackery vs. EcoFlow vs. DIY), emergency preparedness, or wild tools like the Premier Power Welder — hit play!

2026-03-12 | UPDATES #143 | What does it say about the state of mind in the Putin regime, that it has started normalising communications blackouts in its own capital? This is where Russia is now – internet shutdowns in the centre of Moscow have become daily occurrences. Is it to do with war security, as the regime claims, or is it to do with fears of a coup, circulating as rumours? Over the past week, Moscow, St Petersburg, and other Russian cities have seen repeated mobile internet outages, with residents reporting they could not load apps, call taxis, access websites, complete payments, or sometimes even place normal calls. On March 10, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the shutdowns were real, saying they were being imposed for security reasons and were being carried out “in strict compliance with current legislation.” A day later, the Kremlin doubled down, saying the restrictions would last “as long as necessary” for public safety. That is the official story: security. But in Russia, “security” is a broad and opaque explanation. It comes with the hint and shadow of the feared security and intelligence services, the successors to the KGB. And increasingly, it is a method for switching off normal life.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv this week, to film, do research and conduct interviews.

Depth Progression for Spearfishing: EQ, Technique, Safety & Training with Mark Davies (Karma Dives) On the Noob Spearo Podcast, host Shrek talks with Mark Davies from Karma Dives (Hervey Bay) about safe depth progression for spearfishing and freediving, focusing on why divers plateau and how to move from 10m to 15m, 20m and beyond. They cover equalisation troubleshooting (tongue positions, head-angle training, pulsing/warmups, balloons), refining technique and streamlining, disciplined surface intervals, and the added risk of spearing versus line diving. Mark shares cautionary blackout/samba stories, warning signs of pushing too hard, and practical training ideas like pool sessions, walking apnea, stretching/diaphragm flexibility, hydration, and gear considerations such as low-volume masks and appropriate fins. Mark also outlines his Maldives depth-progression retreat (ending with tiger shark dives) and mentions upcoming spearfishing retreats.
