      Nah, it’s colonial settlers living in a place where they shouldn’t, and then capitalists plastering everything with heat-absorbing asphalt because it’s more profitable to force people into car-centric hellholes. If you are unfortunate enough to live in a place like that, prepare a backup power source, because it’s not feasible to build a power grid which never has blackouts.

      Of course, it would be nice to have a government that would provide everyone in such regions with backup electricity sources, but that ain’t happening with capitalists in power, and recommending that grandma should lead a communist uprising is not that helpful
