5 state with grid outages today. Range from 2,400 to 8,300. Scroll down & to right of lower 48 map. Nothing big, though higher than I'd expect considering weather & minimal maintenance down time. Expect outages to gradually increase over time as grid reliability & necessary capital investment continue to decline. Welcome to the Third World. poweroutage.us Plan an occasional glance at the above, going forward, to see how many more outages occur during Spring storms & hi A/C Summer demand. Iso

Looks like a good call to me. MMs ran the sell stops set below 1700 so their buds could scoop up the goodies close to tradable low. Meanwhile, silver rockin'. Up over 3% right now. Like physical a lot more than Crypto. In part, because it's not dependent on an electrical grid in major LT decline due to insufficient cap ex. A decline made more obvious recently due to increased reliance on renewable generation which is intermittent & therefore unreliable in supplying base load. All the while? EVs add more load to a less reliable system every year. When Empires Collapse it's amazing how corrupt & self destructive they become. Iso.
