    "Megan Browning says she hasn't lost power since installing solar and two home batteries around a year ago"

    I live in Europe, and I can't even remember the last time there was a power outage. And all of this without any local battery storage.

      So all Europe are managed the same way?

      What do you know about how the grid is operated anyway?

        out of the few places ive lived, seattle is the only one that had power outages on a regular basis.

        maybe not all of europe is good, but at least many places in the US are bad at it
