I will make one additional note to that. Europe is always seconds away from a continent-wide blackout, every day, at the same time.

It happens when everyone in England simultaneously turns on all of their kettles all at the same time. Boiling water is some of the most energy intensive mundane things a person can do, and when you multiply that by the population of England, the entire continent's grid (for just a few minutes every day) goes into crisis mode, drawing power from basically every square inch of available energy that can be used. Once everyone boils their tea, the power draw in England collapses, and everyone has to shut everything down. Honestly, they could probably do with a nuclear plant just for tea time.

Now, add in crippling beuracratic retardation, central planning in multiple states, green energy suicide, and "new europeans" ripping out copper from active power lines, and we can see why most of the continent seems like it's on the verge of collapse.
