305: Power Grid Failure: Your 3 Phase Plan

This episode looks at power grid failure through the lens of survival, grid down risk, and practical preparedness, using the Iberian blackout as a real-world warning of how fast a modern system can fail. It explains what the DOE's grid hardening plan does for large infrastructure, what it does not do for your home anytime soon, and why that matters for prepping at the household level. You'll also learn the strengths and limits of solar, battery backups, and generators, including why some systems may not work the way people expect during an outage. Most importantly, the episode walks you through a simple three-phase approach to preparedness: map your power dependencies, build layered backup power that fits your needs and budget, and run a no-power drill to find the weak spots before a real outage does.
