Breitbart: Net Zero Spain Leans on Nuclear, Gas to Keep Lights On After Blackout
Spain is currently operating its national power grid in "strengthened mode" following a significant blackout that affected both Spain and Portugal. While the government has ruled out a cyber attack, the exact cause of the blackout remains unknown, with investigations ongoing. The grid is now relying more on nuclear and natural gas, moving away from its previous reliance on renewables.
The Spanish government plans to decommission all nuclear plants within a decade, despite warnings from industry experts that this could lead to higher energy prices and a less reliable system. The recent blackout may prompt a reevaluation of energy strategies, particularly regarding the balance between renewable sources and traditional energy generation.
