With the blackout in Spain and Portugal and talk of “lack of inertia”, the question arises:
Is ANYBODY actually doing ‘green’ the right way?
Actually, yes!
Several regions of many countries (including in the US and Europe) are doing things quite well, IMO.
But there is one country that stands out – WAAAY out – above the rest…
Now we get to the good stuff: More and more, we’re learning that ‘Green Energy’ may be renewable, but it’s not without its problems.
In April 2025, Spain and Portugal learned this lesson the hard way: For the better part of a day, their entire power grid collapsed!
So what exactly is the issue here with Green Power? As usual, it’s complicated…
And as usual, no one is really explaining the WHY of what’s going on.
Join me for Part 2 of a deep dive into the Green Grid!

We hear a lot about rare earth metals and how important they are.
The truth, however, is a bit more complicated.
There is a LOT of hot air being spewed about rare earths these days…
So, let’s filter out the nonsense!
While most people were distracted by China’s new flavors of AI, something even bigger was happening.
China’s EAST experimental fusion reactor ran at temps 6X hotter than sun’s core for almost 18 whole minutes, doubling its previous record.
Well, who cares??
You do! More people are realizing that current “Green Energy” push isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and fusion reactors could provide nearly infinite energy with no radioactive waste.
But the most interesting thing is the curious link between AI and fusion, and what it says about technology itself…
I recently bought new Enegon batteries for the DSLR cam I use to make videos.
Unfortunately, one of them died on me the first time I used it.
This was particularly surprising given that the batteries got very good reviews on Amazon.
So, I decided to open up the dead battery…
I was NOT happy with what I found inside!!
What do you get for somebody when you have NO IDEA what they’d like?
For a high-tech gift that everyone will love, look no further than a UGREEN Uno USB charger!
They’re cute, they’re powerful, and mine has been very reliable.
It’s the perfect high-tech gift for just about anyone!
Electric cars, e-bikes, e-scooters: they all use lithium-based batteries, and they all seem to burn very well.
While many agencies and officials claim traditional cars are at higher risk of bursting into flames, we don’t seem to hear so much about them in the news.
Whatever the case, the fact remains that EV battery fires are VERY nasty.
So, question is: Why??
There are more flavors of USB than ice cream.
With so many gizmos, different USB cables, and chargers, how do you know which one is best?
Which one gives you the fastest data transfer?
More importantly, how do you charge all your devices as quickly as possible – without carrying around 27 different chargers?
Everything these days is powered by batteries: power tools, mowers, cars, etc.
But why does this even work?
A quick look at the power provided by lithium-based batteries should make even armchair techies cringe!
Something doesn’t add up… So, what’s the secret?
