RE: (ENG/DEU) 20 Hours Without Electricity: Impressions From Paraguay and a Glimpse Into Our Fragile Future

Bro... 48 hours... that's not months, but 100% another level... I understand that. Thank you very much for your comment and that you added your perspective!

The idea with combining the UPS with car batteries I had too, because I am tired of buying new (not cheap) UPS batteries all the time (this is why my batteries are down like they are). But until now I did not inveted the time to make research how I can make this transition to car batteries - I assume the charging adapter maybe needs modifications... Hm... You did the transition yourself? Maybe you have some hints n that for me?

On all other things I agree with you.

Yeah... sometimes we thing I/we live in a shit hole, but I have a friend in Cuba... damn there it is a mess in some areas...

Sort:  

Here the power outages at that time, it was because of a hack to the central system by the US.
Now, there are failures in some cities, due to lack of maintenance and the high level of maintenance.
There are also almost no industrial spare parts due to Greek and European sanctions.
And both systems are still being switched to Russian and Chinese technologies.
When that process is finished, we hope that there will be no more general failures.
The blackouts I mentioned were all over the country.
Greetings
