Staff ReportsA massive power outage crippled Spain, Portugal, and parts of France this week, plunging cities into chaos and exposing the dangers of Europe’s reckless rush to green energy. Millions faced darkened homes, paralyzed transit systems, and hospitals running on backup generators as leaders scrambled to explain the collapse.
Madrid and Lisbon became ghost towns overnight. Traffic lights failed across both capitals, creating gridlock as desperate drivers honked through intersections. Stranded subway passengers had to be rescued from tunnels while airports canceled all flights – leaving travelers sleeping on terminal floors.
Doctors performed emergency surgeries by flashlight as water supplies failed. Grocery stores saw panic-buying mobs strip shelves bare within hours. One Lisbon hospital director confessed they had “no timeline for normalcy” while operating on 1940s-era backup systems.
This disaster didn’t happen by accident. For years, EU bureaucrats forced nations to dismantle reliable energy grids to meet climate targets. They banned coal plants, restricted natural gas, and bet everything on wind and solar – technologies that clearly can’t power modern societies.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez spent Monday blaming “technical failures” while his citizens burned candles for light. Meanwhile, France’s energy minister absurdly claimed this proves they need MORE wind turbines. These out-of-touch elites would rather watch civilization collapse than admit their green fantasies are dangerous lies.
Hardworking families paid the price. A Barcelona shopkeeper described looting at his store as police couldn’t respond to emergencies. Pensioners froze in darkened apartments. Parents rationed bottled water for babies. This is what happens when governments put ideology before basic infrastructure.
America must learn from Europe’s mistakes. The left wants to copy these failed policies here – shutting down power plants to please Greta Thunberg. We can’t let radical environmentalists destroy our grid. Reliable energy isn’t a privilege – it’s the backbone of national security and human dignity.
As Iberians shiver in the dark, one truth shines bright: Green energy dreams become nightmares fast. Real leaders protect their people first. It’s time to stop worshiping climate cults and start rebuilding common-sense power systems that actually work.
