As a European, it always baffled me that power outages are such a common phenomenon in the US. I've heard stories about rolling blackouts due to heat/cold from people in all areas in the US. Whereas in Europe, I cannot remember a single instance rolling blackouts were used because of a gap in supply.
Sure, Europeans pay more for electricity, but maybe that spare capacity and inter-connectivity is worth it.
