I'm curious, what is the population of the affected area?? How many deaths, say due to electrical failures at hospitals have been attributed to this incident?. I'm guessing that weather in this part of the world is pretty mild in September and nobody froze to death. Here in Canada, Alberta with a population of 4 million is heading down this road, shutting down coal fired station, subsidising wind and solar, ( today's temperature minus 20 Centigrade). Ontario, population 14 million is further ahead, shutting down coal plants, refusing to build gas powered plants, nuclear plants coming towards the end of their life, already has some of the highest hydro rates in North America.
Even with a population of 14 million, I suspect that any similiar incident here will not produce the necessary outrage to cause the politicians to start to understand science and engineering. It will take a massive death toll somewhere in the USA with a high population density and a black out in severe sub zero temperatures for common sense to set in. Cities in Germany, Sweden etc might get a bit cool occassionaly but I don't believe anywhere in Europe is taking the same levels of risk.
