don't worry, the grid in EU isn't issue-free by any standard and solar and electric cars will do it no good at all.

I know it's not issue free. But Europeans tend to pay a premium to avoid its shortcomings rather than have blackouts. And I prefer that over having cheaper electricity but with a threat of blackouts.

The 48 states that aren't Texas and California just don't have these problems

I don't think most Europeans pay more for electricity than most Californians.

California's largest utility, PG&E, would top this list:
