bto#310 – Am 28. April 2025, exakt um 12:33 Uhr mittags, brach das Stromnetz in Spanien zusammen. Aufgrund der Berichterstattung hierzulande konnte man den Eindruck gewinnen, das Ganze sei zwar ärgerlich gewesen, zugleich aber auch ein großes Happening. Bilder zeigten Menschen, die bei Kerzenschein an langen Tafeln saßen und aßen, was sonst bei den Wirten mangels Kühlung verdorben wäre. Die Botschaft, die bei vielen Betrachtern so angekommen sein dürfte, war klar: alles gar nicht so schlimm.Dabei ist ein großflächiger und langanhaltenderStromausfall (Blackout) nach Einschätzung von Forschern der ETH Zürich ein “maximalglaubwürdiges Ereignis”. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines solchen Ereignisses kann nicht berechnet werden, aber es liegt absolut im Bereich des Möglichen. Das zeigt auch das Beispiel Spanien, wenngleich hier spezifische Bedingungen zu berücksichtigen sind. Trotzdem lässt dieser Vorfall erahnen, wie fatal die Folgen eines solchen Blackouts wären, sollte der Strom länger als drei Tage ausfallen. In Spanien forderte der Stromausfall “nur” drei Todesopfer. Traurig genug, jedoch wären es unter anderen jahreszeitlichen und klimatischen Bedingungen wohl deutlich mehr gewesen.Wie man sich auf ein solches Szenario vorbereitet, bespricht Daniel Stelter mit Herbert Saurugg, Präsident der Gesellschaft für Krisenvorsorge in Österreich.

No Internet for a year: Why Equatorial Guinea has kept Annobón island offline For 12 months, the people of Annobón, an island province of Equatorial Guinea, have lived in a digital blackout - cut off from the world with no explanation. Why would a government deliberately silence its own citizens? In this episode of Somewhere on Earth, we speak with Tutu Alicante (EG Justice) and Felicia Anthonio (Access Now) about the shocking reality of one of the world's longest-running internet shutdowns. Digital rights groups are now demanding action - but will the world listen?  From oil giant to climate ally? How Petrobras is unlocking emissions data for the world What if the key to fighting climate change wasn't just more data - but making it accessible to everyone? In a groundbreaking partnership, Brazil's Petrobras and tech hub CESAR have transformed dense emissions reports into an interactive public dashboard tracking G20 nations' climate progress. Could making this complex scientific data easily accessible and understandable bring real change?

Wer in Wien wohnt, mit den Öffis fährt oder stirbt, bekommt es mit Peter Weinelt zu tun – genauer gesagt mit einem seiner 18.000 Mitarbeiter. Als Generaldirektor der Wiener Stadtwerke verantwortet er Unternehmen wie Wien Energie, die Wiener Linien oder die Bestattung Wien. Wie sich Wiens Infrastruktur vor täglichen Angriffen russischer Hacker und vor Blackouts schützt, ob das Öffi-Ticket zu billig ist und wie unter der Stadt Ressourcen für eine unendliche und saubere Energieversorgung erschlossen werden, erklärt Weinelt in Gespräch mit meiner Kollegin Petra Stuiber, das für unseren Schwester-Podcast “CEO” aufgezeichnet wurde. Heute hören Sie das Interview auch bei uns in Thema des Tages. Und wer neue Folgen von “CEO” hören will, sobald sie erscheinen, abonniert am besten den eigenständigen “CEO”-Kanal auf der Podcast-Plattform seiner Wahl. **Jetzt abonnieren:** [Der CEO-Podcast vom STANDARD](https://open.spotify.com/show/2fnQ2QctSRCOV2OWl70vmE?si=02f804c00f8549ad)

United States Postal Service spokesperson John Hyatt shares highlights from 250 years of mail delivery; Fernanda Camarena with the Poynter Institute discusses the consequences of media blackouts

Send us a textWhat does it mean to be "sober curious" in a culture where drinking is the default social activity? In this raw and revealing conversation, Jacquelynn starts with a deeply personal confession about her own struggles with alcohol, sharing recent setbacks despite her previous confidence in having overcome her unhealthy relationship with drinking.Leanna, a self-described "retired party girl turned event planner and blogger," joins the conversation and unpacks the nuanced territory between traditional alcoholism and casual drinking. Having spent years binge drinking three to five nights a week to the point of blackout, her journey toward sobriety offers profound insights for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol.The discussion takes unexpected turns as both women share vulnerable stories about identity, friendship loss, and those painful moments when alcohol turned them into people they didn't recognize. "I like to say that now I'm making memories instead of losing them," Leanna reflects, capturing the essence of what sobriety offers beyond just abstinence.Beyond the emotional and social aspects, they explore the physical impacts of alcohol—how it disrupts sleep rather than improving it, increases anxiety despite temporarily relieving it, and takes a toll on overall health. For those who've built their social lives and identities around being "the life of the party," the fear of who they'll become without alcohol is real and daunting.Whether you're firmly committed to sobriety, simply "sober curious," or just intrigued by the growing movement challenging alcohol's central role in society, this conversation offers compassionate wisdom without judgment. The message resonates clearly: your relationship with alcohol doesn't define you, and exploring life without it might reveal a more authentic, energized version of yourself you never knew existed.How might your social life, health, and self-understanding transform if you questioned your relationship with alcohol? Listen to find out, and consider joining the conversation about making memories instead of losing them.Find Leanna on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leannamariarleeWebsite link: https://sippingongratitude.comMota MagickMOTA Magick is soulful, high-vibe CBD skincare made by women, for women.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the warnings by the Department of Energy of a 100x increase in blackout risk by 2030 as land is seized in places like California following the Pacific Palisades fires through eminent domain and used for low income apartments and 15 Minute City infrastructure. As a new California bill seizes land after the Pacific Palisades fires, people like Grant Cardone had previously warned of this as his house was one of the few ocean front properties in Malibu that survived. Now, California Senate Bill 549 has passed making this a reality. This comes at the same time as we see massive floods in Texas around Kerr County as well as in New Mexico, North Carolina and elsewhere. Flash flooding is strangely popping up everywhere with much of those places facing land redevelopment. Spain faced major land grabs as well as blackouts just months ago following massive floods as well. Now the DoE is warning of 100x increases in blackout risks by 2030 on the same day as Trump's Energy Security executive order. Trump also put $1 trillion into massive AI data centers in Texas, causing a massive strain on the grid. Puerto Rico is facing blackout threats after New Fortress Energy halted LNG shipments. Farmers are warning if a supply chain disaster as we see massive shortages. This is all by design. Collapse the grid. Collapse the food supply. Create problems on the internet and then they come in with their technocratic "solution" which is already being rolled out and that is not a coincidence. The digital ID system. CBDCs. Artificial intelligence and of course the WEF agenda of "owning nothing" in the face of dependence and disaster. The script was written long ago. We cannot deny the fact that the entire technocratic grid just happens to be rolling out as trillions go into AI and the dollar fails leading to a new cashless system. From the United Nations Pact For The Future which 193 countries signed onto last September to the GENIUS Act, the AI deals with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the entire world is moving to a ration based system while the old system is collapsing.

It's an episode of big names and exclusive name drops as iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, welcomes SBC's CEO and Founder, Rasmus Sojmark, to dig deeper into the Legends Charity Game in Lisbon this September.  Rasmus delves deeper into, what will be, an unforgettable night of football as SBC proudly presents the Legends Charity Game, a historic showdown between the World Legends and Portugal Legends, taking place on Monday, September 15th in Lisbon. The event aims to raise over €1 million for global communities affected by conflict and war, blending the magic of the beautiful game with a powerful humanitarian mission. The pitch will be graced by football royalty. The Portugal Legends, led by Luís Figo, will reunite stars from the iconic Euro 2004 squad, including Deco, Quaresma, Victor Baía, and more. On the other side, the World Legends, managed by Peter Schmeichel and Diego Lugano, will feature Ronaldinho, Cafu, Zanetti, Hagi, Van der Sar, and Henrik Larsson, just to name a few. One of the most anticipated storylines? Greece's Georgios Karagounis faces the very players he defeated in the Euro 2004 final. The Legends Charity Game also kicks off the SBC Summit Lisbon (Sept 16–18), the biggest B2B iGaming event of the year. The summit will host 700 exhibitors, eight conference stages, and 30,000+ attendees. Highlights include a Super Stage press event with the football legends, live music, free food, and headline performances from Joel Corry, Timmy Trumpet, Imanbek, Alok, and The Blackouts.Click here to purchase tickets for the Legends Charity Game To read more on the Legends Charity Game click on the following link:- https://sbcnews.co.uk/europe/2025/07/17/legends-charity-game-lisbon/Host: Joe StreeterGuest: Rasmus Sojmark Producer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James Ross

In this explosive monologue, the host unpacks how aggressive green energy policies in the Netherlands have led to blackout hours and industrial shutdowns—a preview, he warns, of what Democrats planned for America. He then details the shocking escalation of violence against ICE agents, including doxxing by Rep. Salud Carbajal that ended with an ICE spokesperson hospitalized after being attacked by a mob. The segment pivots to chilling revelations about assassination threats against Donald Trump, including Iranian missiles smuggled into the U.S. and alleged Secret Service failures during an attempted assassination. Highlighting the unacknowledged heroism of Butler County SWAT operator Aaron Zaliponi—who fired the critical shot that saved Trump's life—the host raises alarms over institutional cover-ups and the ongoing danger to the former president. This is a sobering examination of energy policy fallout, radical anti-ICE violence, and high-level security failures that, he argues, threaten the nation's stability.

After Gordon's brutal hit, we're asking the question no one at Daiken Park wants to answer- are he Astros' medical staff dropping the ball...again. Meanwhile, a BBQ debate gets spicy: can LA actually hang with Texas in the smokehouse or is Lance just being Lance. 

What Really Happened During the Iberian Blackout This Spring? And How Should We Make Sense of the Conflicting Reports?  To shed light on the events, Gerard and Laurent are joined by global energy expert Steve Berberich, who served as President and CEO of the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) from 2011 to 2020. Steve led CAISO through the August 2020 blackout in California and now serves as President and CEO of Onward Energy.  We begin by placing the Iberian blackout in a broader context—comparing and contrasting it with major grid failures from recent years: South Australia 2016, California 2020, Texas Uri 2021, Ireland 2024, Louisiana 2025 and of course Iberia 2025.  We examine both the long-term systemic weaknesses and short-term triggering events behind each case—identifying patterns, divergences, and the reforms that followed in their aftermath. Then we turn our full attention to Spain.   Unlike the other blackouts, the Iberian event did not stem from extreme weather. Instead, Steve—along with Gerard and Laurent—dives deep into the underlying structural vulnerabilities of the Spanish grid.  From regulatory gaps and design flaws to operational mistakes, we scrutinize the entire system and arrive at a set of clear, evidence-based conclusions.  Link to Gerard's substack https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/spains-grid-blame-blackouts-bureaucracy-gerard-reid-tiqre/  Link to the Energy Institute Report https://www.energyinst.org/statistical-review

Joon Lee joined Baskin and Phelps and shared what he learned when he took a step back from the sports industry and began watching sports as a fan rather than a media member. He talked about how expensive it is to be a sports fan, where those costs are coming from, and how it is impacting both the fan and the industry.

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – The recent heat wave in the eastern US led some to say that this was the result of human greenhouse gas releases. But the best record of its kind in the world, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) state-wide extreme weather database, shows that this is not true at all. After setting 27 extreme weather records in 1936...

Ein massiver Stromausfall erschütterte kürzlich die iberische Halbinsel: Rund 60 Millionen Menschen in Spanien, Portugal und Teilen Frankreichs waren stunden- und teils tagelang ohne Elektrizität. In diesem Interview beleuchtet Prof. Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, ehemaliger Umweltsenator Hamburgs und renommierter Energieexperte, die Ursachen dieses Blackouts. Er erklärt die technischen Schwächen eines Stromnetzes, das zunehmend auf erneuerbare Energien ohne ausreichende Stabilitätsmechanismen setzt. Welche Rolle spielen dabei rotierende Massen, Photovoltaik-Anlagen und fehlende Speicherlösungen? Warum ist auch Deutschland von ähnlichen Risiken betroffen? Und mit welchen Kosten und Gefahren müssten wir im Falle eines vergleichbaren Stromausfalls rechnen? Außerdem spricht Prof. Vahrenholt über falsche politische Weichenstellungen, die geplante Transformation der Industrie auf angebotsorientierte Produktion.

What will it take to finally wean Europe off Russian gas? Can renewables help with grid stability? And is the EU making a mistake subsidising hydrogen? This week on Cleaning Up, Michael Liebreich sits down with EU Energy and Housing Commissioner Dan Jørgensen to dissect the continent's energy transformation. In this wide ranging interview recorded at the Berlaymont building in Brussels — the home of the European Commission — Liebreich and Jørgensen delve into critical topics including reducing dependency on Russian energy, the economics of renewable technologies, the role of nuclear power, and the contentious economics of green hydrogen. Jørgensen defends the EU's ambitious climate goals while addressing concerns about cost, competitiveness, and political pushback against the green transition. Leadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that the Trump administration is order another aging power plant to stay open, for now.

In this extended two-part broadcast, Tara breaks down the deepening crisis in American energy policy and its global implications. Energy Secretary Doug Burgum warns that eliminating coal by 2030 could lead to devastating Spain-style blackouts in the U.S., as China ramps up coal-powered energy to dominate the AI arms race. Meanwhile, California teeters on the edge of energy collapse, facing $10 gas and refinery seizures—mirroring the tactics of failed socialist regimes. The conversation turns to Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" and his controversial handling of judicial appointments during his first term. Trump admits he was misled by the Federalist Society, a revelation that stirs concern about his past decisions and their lasting impact on U.S. policy and trade. As legal battles unfold over Trump's tariff agenda, a larger question emerges: Can he regain control before it's too late? In a dramatic pivot, Tara unpacks Trump's troubling lack of awareness about NATO-backed drone attacks on Russian soil and escalating tensions in Ukraine. With the risk of World War III looming, Tara calls out the urgent need for better advisors and stronger leadership. This comprehensive exposé ties together domestic energy struggles, judicial missteps, global conflict, and the high stakes of 2024—offering a sobering look at what's ahead if course corrections aren't made.

The Collapse Is Starting: BLACKOUTS in Europe, EMPTY Ports & Shelves in America+ New UPS Layoffs

The Warning Wrapped in Fiction Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged used to be considered dystopian fiction. Now, for many of us watching the modern world unravel, it feels more like a prophetic blueprint. In this episode, we dive into the eerie parallels between Rand's vision of a crumbling society—and the slow collapse playing out around us today. The Rise of Incompetence In Atlas Shrugged, skilled workers, engineers, and innovators walk away as bureaucrats and paper-pushers take control. Sound familiar? Today, government agencies balloon with red tape while infrastructure, like trains, power grids, and bridges, worsens yearly. Expertise is ignored. Bureaucracy is rewarded. And the people who still know how to do things are being sidelined. Demonizing the Productive Rand warned about the demonization of success. Look around: entrepreneurship is labeled “privilege,” working too hard is “toxic,” and profit is a dirty word. In the novel, those who produced were taxed and regulated into silence. In real life, we see a culture that punishes competence and celebrates mediocrity. This isn't theory—it's happening now. Blackouts, Shortages, and Stalled Supply Chains In the book, trains stop running. Entire cities lose power. Goods vanish from shelves. It's no longer far-fetched. Between supply chain collapses, energy instability, and labor strikes, we're seeing real-world echoes of Rand's fictional breakdown. Factories closing. Supermarkets thin on essentials. Delivery delays are stretching from days to months. Who Is John Galt? In Atlas Shrugged, the productive minority goes into hiding, refusing to support a system that punishes effort. In our world, many are quitting high-stress jobs, moving off-grid, or finding ways to live with less government and more independence. That's where preppers shine—we've been preparing for this shift all along. Lessons for Preppers Don't count on the system. It's already showing cracks. Reward competence—in yourself and in your community. Value production over appearances. Skill beats status every time. Build your parallel systems—food, power, comms, security. Be ready to walk away from broken structures before they fall on you. Final Thought Whether or not you agree with Ayn Rand's philosophy, one thing's clear: Atlas Shrugged isn't just a book anymore. It's a warning. And it's being played out in slow motion. Preppers aren't shocked—we've seen it coming. But now it's time to act like we mean it. Because when the world shrugs… you'd better be standing.

In today's episode, I'm flipping the mic and sharing an interview of me—recorded on the Drunk-ish podcast with the hilarious and wise Stefanie Wilder-Taylor—comedian, author of Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay and Drunk-ish, and one of the original mom writers who made me feel seen in the early days of parenting (and wine o'clock).
