    Most of the time power outages are causes by power lines getting taken out by falling branches, cars crashing into utility poles, ice build up, wind. I think it’s great you have renewable energy sources but pretty sure it’s irrelevant.

      Renewables are more evenly distributed, which means power transfer/substations can reroute more easily than when all the power comes from a single point of failure.

      It’s not as relevant, but it is relevant.
