I predicted cyber attack false flags would be unleashed to blame open source AI. Now I'm adding a new prediction tonight: 2027 will see a rising number of grid-down blackouts as America's Third-World power grid intermittently craters under heavy data center loads, rising EV ownership and a crumbling power grid infrastructure that's also highly vulnerable to sabotage.
The PJM Interconnection that powers the Eastern grid is of course the most vulnerable and will almost certainly see regional failures under high demand days. It serves 13 U.S. states and somewhere around 65 million people. (Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.)
There are nowhere near enough generators or off-grid batteries to shore up even a tiny fraction of that number.
Prepare accordingly.
As everybody is now realizing that U.S. infrastructure is a Third World mess, and that the next most likely failure will involve POWER GRID blackouts, I am re-posting this popular Decentralize TV episode where we interviewed Sol-Ark product lead David Norman, an expert in off-grid solar.
We talked batteries, inverters, panels, installation considerations and much more. If you want to go off-grid with your power and be IMMUNE to grid down blackouts, start by watching this video!
