Yerstuday night at about 3:30 when I was in the disco the power went down. At first we all waited a few minutes and then we all went out of the club (strangely enough there were no beating and pushing, despite the fact we were about 1-2 thousand yound teenagers trying to get out a dark disco)
The disco is not exactly in the city but is a little out on one of the many hills sorrounding Torino.
When I was finally out I saw the whole city dark... you could tell there was a city only because there was a huge river of car running around the streets.
Me and my friends immediatly go in my car, I bring them home and then go home myself.
This morning I wake up and discover that the whole of Italy (with the exception of Sardinia) were without electricity... and some regions in the south still are.
The TV news said there was a malfunction in the connection between Italy and France (Italy buys about 20% of its electricity from France) and when they tried to activate a second line that was meant to serve as a back up, that line went down again.
Power was up here at around 7 that means we had only about 3-4 hours of black out, but some cities are still without electricity (and some other even without water because of the fact that the pumps and the "things that clean water" are not working).
Always according to the TV News there were no problems and no alarms caused by the black-out
As always the TV said that we should try not to use too much electricity, stop using this, stop using that etc etc... But now I wonder, since the average Italian already daily about half the electricity that a Swede use (they said it on TV), since we are buying 20% of our electicity from France (and this means that whenever there will be problems in France, it will be Italy to be in the dark).
Why can't we just build some other plants?
