The video provides a sobering look at how aging infrastructure and rising energy demands are creating a fragile reality for modern cities. However, it tends to treat a systemic public utility crisis as a personal survivalist challenge rather than a collective policy failure.

Massive Blackouts Are Coming This Summer!Added:
Be careful for this summer. We could be seeing blackouts across the country.
All right, guys. So, first question is, are you ready for massive blackouts that could be coming this summer? Now, we have a range of things happening that can cause these blackouts. So, obviously, it's not just like the data centers, for example, data centers, whatever you want to call them.
It's not just that. There's a lot of things at play that's going to exacerbate our electrical grid system, especially if you live in a state like New York where that electrical grid system is running thin because the increase of people moving here. So if you have data centers and extreme heat, we are probably going to see a blackout if not rolling blackout or brownouts, right? And so brownouts is where they lower the power to certain areas which always screw things up. It it's almost better having a blackout than it is a brownout. And you know blackouts obviously the electrical grid system couldn't handle the load and then they either a shut it down or it blows something and then the power's out. Now a lot of the times they would rather shut it down and get that I guess the heating the overheating down before they shut it back on because if they blow it now you have a huge problem right so the United States at in itself they have data centers being built all over the place and that's one of the problems that are going to cause blackouts in a lot of area of the data centers that are being built everywhere. So this summer I think a lot of people will be okay especially that a lot of data centers are in building phase but next year especially if El Nino goes into next year as well we can have a super hot summer this summer and next summer and next summer once those data centers go online that's going to create a huge problem for a lot of people that live in that area and or state because data centers need an massive amount of power energy and water to keep them cool. So now you're running into that issue. Now before we get to the whole data center issue, what a lot of people are failing to realize is that most people are not ready for blackouts. Some people think they are. Some people are like, "Oh, I got a flashlight and I got a can of beans. I mean, we're good to go."
Flashlight and a can of beans is great if you're by yourself. But if you're with your family, you're going to need more. You're going to need a solar generator. And and I would say if you have kids, have up to two to three solar generators. one that's solely responsible for the kids, meaning charging their phone, iPad or whatever it is. You have a third a second one for entertainment and you have a third one that's mainly for house important stuff like refrigerators and things like that.
That's what you should have and that's how you should be ready. You should also be ready to have backup plans like cooking outdoors. Instead of propane, use charcoal. These are things that you should have ready to rock. But the blackouts are going to be caused by a lot of these things that I'm going to go over in a second. Now, what's going to cause blackouts? Data centers, aging infrastructure, population increase like we're seeing here in New York City.
Weather emergencies and solar storms.
Now, working backwards, solar storms are going to be a problem. We're seeing the sun acting up. The sun's acting like an for the last couple of years now. and they're talking about how it's more active than it's ever been this year. So, we could see some more solar storms. In fact, we could see some bad ones like the Carrington event hit this planet. That in itself is going to cause blackouts depending on what side of the Earth is facing that solar storm or that CME if you will. So, we could run into that and that's something that we always need to be ready for because like the Carrington event that can happen at any moment and a lot of people didn't see it coming. At least with technology today, we can sort of see it coming. We can absolutely know where it's going to hit.
Again, that's something to be ready for and people should again always be ready for a blackout, especially during the summer. Now, population increase or excuse me, weather emergencies. weather emergencies. That's going to be linked to the whole El Nino. El Nino this year is supposedly going to be the hottest and worst El Nino this planet has ever seen. Or rather on on record, excuse me, because it probably was before that, but we didn't know. The mo the most dangerous or I guess the most dangerous El Nino on record was 1877.
So they think that that ElNino, which is bad, which was 2.3 to 2.7° above normal, this Elnino is reportedly going to be 2.5 to 3%, sorry, 3° over normal. So that's 3° difference. And 3° makes a huge difference when you're talking about weather emergencies. Now, we're talking about either worse rainstorms, bad thunderstorms, hurricane seasons in the Pacific Ocean. Pacific Ocean is going to be more active. Now, the Atlantic Ocean is going to be less active with this El Nino, at least the things that I'm reading. So, we might not see an active hurricane season this year and next year, but we're going to see an active storm season out in the Pacific. So, there's that. You're also going to have major flooding as well that probably going to be connected to those rainstorms. We're also going to see droughts in certain area. And we're definitely going to see high heats and or worse summers a lot of places across the world. So the electrical grid system is definitely going to be stressed with that. Why? Because people are going to have the ACs on. Everybody's going to have everything on in their apartment or their home that's going to be draining the electrical grid system in that local area or just the entire like eastern seabboard for example where we get a lot of our power from Canada. So, if all of that is being stressed and there's too much power being drawn, that's going to cause a blackout. And again, that's because of the heat. Never mind if you have a hurricane or a bad storm that knocks out the power as well. Now, aging infrastructure, we all we all talked about that for decades, especially when we talk about EMPs, electromagnetic pulse. The aging infrastructure needs to be strengthened, but we're not seeing that. and the government rather put billions of dollars into Israel, Ukraine, and this full war in Iran, but they don't even want to look at the electrical grid system, which they need to upgrade. Now, certain states are upgrading their electrical grid system, but if our main power source, like I said, the one that's in Canada, is not being upgraded, what does it work, right? If that thing goes down because it's old, we're screwed. And to get any kind of replacements for those parts up there can take up to a year to three years. So again, that's a different kind of blackout. The blackouts that I'm talking about are the blackouts we're going to see that's going to last a day or two, maybe a week. That happens in the electrical grid systems wiped out because of a CME or EM or EMP. That's an entirely different ballgame. Now, population increase, we're seeing that across the board on a lot of a lot of states, excuse me, or cities. New York City again being that example, we're seeing more people move into the city, which I hate by the way, and they are creating a draw on the current existing grid system that's being updated or upgraded, excuse me. So, they're building more buildings, more people are moving into the city. And if you notice, if you live in the city, you notice ConEd is breaking up streets all over the place because they're trying to upgrade and strengthen the grid system here. the power lines here and hopefully it's going to work. But we shall see.
These guys are breaking streets up everywhere. There's constru there's construction crews all over the place because they're trying to handle that population increase. If they don't, as Coned told us earlier this year or sorry, last month they're saying that we are on deck to see blackouts throughout the city because we just can't handle the population increase and the amount of people that are buying ACs, uh, computers, laptops, things of that nature. more people are moving into these buildings, which again is causing more of a draw onto the power grid.
That's going to create a blackout. Now, if you live near a city that's doing that, that's something to consider and that's something to keep in the back of your head. But the bigger problem is the data centers. That is number one on my list. That's going to create a major draw on the power and a lot of people are definitely going to see issues in regard to their powers either flickering, going out or being out for hours, if not days. Because instead of giving you the power, they're going to redirect a lot of it to the data centers to keep those cool. Because if they don't get cooled off, they melt down, right? They malfunction and they they break apart. Not break apart, but they just break. So keep that in mind. You live near a data center, you're going to need a backup plant. Period. If the temperature is over 90 to 95°, you're probably most likely going to see a blackout. The same goes for New York City when they talked about the population increase and the draw on the power. Anything over 95 degrees and 98 degrees, we're in trouble. And that was coming from a Connet guy. So if you live near a data center, I'm assuming the same rules apply to you. Anything over 90 95 degrees, guys, in an area that's decently populated or heavily populated, you're going to see a blackout. Now, if you live in a town where there's like five of you, you probably don't have much to worry about. But if you live in a big town or a big city near one of these data centers, you're definitely going to see a draw on power. You're definitely going to see less power usage. That's for sure. And then you're going to start seeing notices on your phone. I guarantee you, you're going to see a notice on your phone telling you to turn down the power in your home. So that telling you turn all the lights out. Uh keep your AC on or shut your AC off for an hour. Turn all the the lights off in your apartment for as long as you can. Open your windows to keep cool.
They're going to tell you to do all this Meanwhile, the data centers are going to be stealing all of that power.
so they can keep running. Again, my video on the Angry Troop channel, I I'm telling people how to handle data centers in their area. You could take a look at that video, guys. But these data centers are the problem, and they're definitely going to be the major draw of blackouts across this country. Other than that, guys, this is the Angry Prepper. Thank you for watching.
