Nationwide power outages knock Spain, Portugal offline

No, generation IS the issue.

As you point out it is the unreliable, intermittent, non-dispatchable generation like solar and wind that is unsuitable for decent civilisation.

beast666 Silver badge

I wasn't joking.

You have explained what I was getting at. I couldn't be bothered to explain further to the dumb masses here...

beast666 Silver badge

Probable cause being the surge in unwanted and unreliable solar power being fed into the grid around local noon. Bring back coal fired power stations.

Stuff a Pi-hole in your router because your browser is about to betray you

beast666 Silver badge

Pi-hole doesn't block YouTube ads nor does it blocks ads served over the mobile network or when you are on friends or family's WiFi.
