This is similar to what happened in Texas a couple years ago when a strong winter cold period increased electricity consumption (as people turned up heating) beyond what power company had prepared for. There was so much draw on the equipment that power had to be cut in order to avoid damaging the power generation equipment.
Once the emergency blackouts (followed layer by rolling blackouts) began to save the power equipment, water pumping stations lost power. At that point, with water not flowing and hard freeze temperatures, the pipes bursts as water began to freeze. So, people were without electricity for heat and without water.
Here, we don't wave radiator heating systems, but they're radiators bursting is the same as our water mains bursting.
Except, it's very rarely thst cold in Texas. Our problem was due to the electricity company not planning enough fuel supply at the generating stations. Then, once the storm hit, more fuel couldn't be transported in.
Whatever Russia's current electricity generating issues are, all those complaining Russians should be tried for treason. If they are not building military equipment in a factory or fighting on the front "to save Russia from invasion", then they are not a necessary part of the society because they aren't doing their patriotic duty to support their "benevolent" czar.

4:35 re, why we keep making the same mistakes (burying our head in the sand during WWI and WWII until action was unavoidable instead of acting earlier and being able to prevent the situation from worsening...
Even if history is recorded, society only has the memory of about 60 to 80 years or 1 generation. After that history and lessons learned from it are forgotten.
This is true both ways. Putin forgot how things worked out for the last fascist dictator who invaded European neighbors.
The West, especially the United States, has forgotten what happened when nothing was done as that dictator began invading Europe. We kept hearing, "we don't want to give too much aid as it might cause Russia to escalate."
Utter nonsense. Russia had no room escalate because they were 100% in at day 3 of the 2022 invasion. Yet, the West, completely forgetting how appeasement and diplomacy don't work with an aggressive dictator bent on building an empire.
Worse, Trump aka "Mr Win at Any Cost" is so desperate for personal power that he's willing to throw America under the bus to get it and do things that align with the goals of an enemy the USA and the democratic, free world.
Because society doesn't remember how trying to avoid a world crisis didn't work, people begin parroting the nonsense coming out of Trump led Republican Party. And, Trump isn't even an elected official! It's nuts.
