  • Climate change and soaring energy prices could make widespread blackouts more common, even in wealthy nations.
  • Californians narrowly averted statewide blackouts, and Britons impacted by the war in Ukraine will soon pay nearly double for electricity.
  • As energy costs soar higher, a new age of rolling outages and grid instability looms large.

Stock up on batteries, candles, and non-perishable snacks. Blackouts are coming.

For the first time in decades, the western world is preparing for widespread and rolling energy shortages. The US, UK, and EU have all been squeezed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, soaring costs for electricity and fuel, and record-breaking heat waves. While fall is just around the corner, the worst of the energy strain is likely still to come.

Even wealthy nations won't be spared, at least without broad broad policy change and private-sector overhauls. Add in the accompanying economic costs and extreme health risks, and you have a very difficult situation.

In California, it will materialize as outage warnings and restrictions on your air conditioning. Then in coming years, Texans, Illinoisans, and Missourians will join the suffering of their west coast peers amid sweltering heat and rolling blackouts.

And across Europe and the UK, residents not used to heat waves will either face skyrocketing energy bills or dangerously hot summers — a situation made worse by their reliance on Russian gas, the flow of which has been essentially cut off entirely.

In the US, climate change risks decades of 'extreme danger'

Amid record-high temperatures on the west coast Tuesday afternoon, California's grid operator ISO urged residents to limit their energy use and cautioned that rolling blackouts could arrive.

REDDIT SCREENSHOT

The text alert worked. Emergency precautions lifted at 8 pm PT without the need for widespread blackouts. The utility added that residents' energy conservation "played a big part" in bolstering the grid's reliability.

The relief was short-lived. Just 15 hours later, the ISO issued another alert calling on residents to use less energy throughout the afternoon. Californians were encouraged to avoid using large appliances, unplug unused electronics, and set their thermostats no lower than 78 degrees.

"I can't keep doing this," Twitter user @sdfashionista3 wrote in response to the ISO on Thursday morning. "Been in San Diego my entire life never seen the temp this high at night even during a Santa Ana."

And while the ISO's Tuesday alert helped stave off rolling blackouts, more than 50,000 Californians experienced some form of a power outage that afternoon, according to data from poweroutage.us.

The strain on California's power grid can be traced directly to climate change. Average temperatures have risen faster than residents' heat tolerance, meaning Californians are running their air conditioning significantly longer than they did just years ago. Yet utilities companies and regulators haven't bolstered the power grid accordingly, and soaring demand for electricity has pushed that infrastructure to the edge.

"Fossil-fuel based electricity has traditionally been seen as the most reliable," Romany Webb, an associate research scholar at Columbia Law School and senior fellow at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, told Insider. "But the combination of gas being in shorter supply and more expensive, combined with these climate impacts, highlight that that's really no longer the case."

The alerts, while helpful on Tuesday, underscore the looming threat facing California and other states with hotter climates. Roughly 8 million Americans are already expected to experience temperatures above 125 degrees in 2022, levels deemed to pose "extreme danger," according to the National Weather Service. That count is expected to reach 107 million people in 2053 as climate change powers higher and higher temperatures, according to new research from First Street Foundation.

California won't be alone. All of Illinois and Missouri are set to feature 125 degree days by 2053, the foundation found. Parts of 23 other states will land in the belt.

Without massive investment in overhauling the country's energy grid, such heat waves could knock out power across states for days on end. That endangers millions who can't afford to cool down with a generator or a pool. A lack of power will also lead to widespread food spoilage as freezers and refrigerators shut down.

Countless business owners will be forced to close up shop, and those staying open won't get much traffic as Americans focus on beating the heat.

Americans requiring powered medical devices will be in the most immediate danger, especially as blackouts can come at a moment's notice.

"If we don't accelerate our action to mitigate climate change and prepare for the climate change that's already happening, we're likely to see more of these outages and have a less reliable grid," Webb said.

Europe's decoupling from Russian energy presents an impossible choice

The EU and UK's energy problem has far more to do with their dependence on Russia. While the US can largely rely on its own energy commodities for power despite its struggles with its antiquated electric grid, western Europe leans heavily on Moscow for its natural gas and crude oil to keep prices steady.

The relationship, while rocky, lasted for several decades. That ended when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and sparked intense backlash from the West. The EU and UK quickly levied sanctions on Russia's energy sector, unveiling plans to quickly reduce their purchases of Russian goods and find those commodities elsewhere.

The pivot hasn't been an easy one. Western Europe has struggled with energy shortages throughout the year, and summer heat exacerbated the problem. Crippling heat waves emerged in the UK, Spain, Portugal, and France, with all-time-high temperatures causing large wildfires and thousands of deaths.

The hot spell was particularly dangerous because many affected countries "are not really trained to deal with the heat," George Havenith, Professor of Environmental Physiology and Ergonomics of Loughborough University, recently told Insider. 

The heat wave has since eased somewhat, but Russia's retaliation to energy embargoes kicked off a new stage of pain. The UK and EU haven't fully weaned themselves off of Russian gas yet, leaving energy in shorter supply as the Kremlin cuts off westward flows.

That's left residents paying up for their everyday power needs. Britain's energy regulator lifted its cap on annual energy bills to £3,549 — about $ 4,189 — starting October 1, nearly doubling the previous limit and up 178% from last winter.

The hike presents low-income Britons with an impossible choice: go into debt to maintain their basic energy use, or endure a blazing hot summer and frigid winter rife with blackouts and health hazards.

Immediate solutions are few and far between, but as climate change rages on, the impetus to reinforce electrical grids with renewable power and efficient energy storage grows stronger.

"Unless we recognize the serious risks that climate change poses to our electrical system, we're likely to see more of these reliability issues," Webb said. "It's imperative that regulators, electric utilities, and system operators recognize that climate change is here."

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla.—Five days after NASA’s first attempt to fly the massive Space Launch System rocket ended with technical problems, the space agency is ready to try again.

A launch team began fueling the rocket on Saturday morning shortly before the Sun began rising over the Atlantic Ocean waters that encircle the spaceport. The SLS rocket, which is launching the Artemis I mission around the Moon, has a two-hour launch window that opens at 2:17 pm ET (18:17 UTC).

A successful launch would mark the beginning of a 42-day mission that will send the Orion spacecraft into lunar orbit, and test critical technologies such as a heat shield that will protect the spacecraft during a fiery reentry through Earth’s atmosphere. If the mission goes well, Artemis II would follow in a couple of years, carrying humans around the Moon. A lunar landing is planned for later this decade.

Initially, it seemed like a great idea, didn’t it?

While Grey’s Anatomy — and all of us — dealt with the pandemic, the ABC drama offered up a welcome escape: Meredith’s COVID dreams of a beautiful beach on which she reunited with lost loved ones like husband Derek and buddy George. It was a big swing, and it worked.

That is, at first it worked. Not only did the gambit keep Ellen Pompeo’s character active on screen during her bout with coronavirus, the returns of former favorites Patrick Dempsey and T.R. Knight were a delightful respite from the doom and gloom of real life. But as the season has worn on, the novelty has worn off.

Why did what began as such a treat begin to feel almost like… a trick?

Every viewer will have their own take on how the story arrived at low tide. But for me, the reason is twofold. One, the plot has just gone on for too long. The action grinds to a halt when we cut to the beach, and even that initial tug at the heartstrings when we see a former favorite has grown weaker each time.

greys-anatomy-beach-returns-season-17-reviewCase in point: I should have been elated to see in Thursday’s promo that Chyler Leigh was reprising her role of Mer’s late half sister, Lexie. Overjoyed, even. And yes, I was happy. But I was also kinda like, “Aww, still no Cristina.”

That’s the other thing. The rules of Mer’s limbo beach are vague at best, nonexistent at worst. At the start of this story, we were led to believe that Mer only encountered people who had died. But then Bailey and Richard stopped by, DeLuca hung out for a while before passing away, and Cormac popped in just to encourage Mer to live.

By now, I half-expect Owen to show up only to get a consult on a patient.

Which sounds unkind, and I don’t mean for it to. If these are Mer’s dreams, she’s certainly allowed to write and rewrite the rules as she sees fit. It’s just that the haziness of it all hasn’t been a boon to dramatic resonance.

Grey's Anatomy Derek ReturnsIn the end, I very much appreciate what showrunner Krista Vernoff was going for. The beach subplot has been a real gift at a dark, dark time, and one that I don’t think any of us thought we’d ever receive. (Did you expect Dempsey to play Derek again in this lifetime?) Over the long haul, though, it hasn’t quite yielded the hoped-for dividend, either creatively or emotionally.

What do you think, Grey’s fans? Have you liked the beach bits? If you did at first, do you still? Or am I looking a gift horse in the mouth and ungratefully quibbling with a story that’s given us back Derek, George and, soon, Lexie?

Winnick’s character Lagertha was one of the many shocking deaths viewers saw in season six of Vikings.

However, her’s was expected since a prophecy saw her death at the hands of one of Ragnar’s (played by Travis Fimmel) sons. 

During a series six episode, Hvitserk (Marco Ilsø) was hallucinating as he had done for most of the season, and he stabbed Lagertha repeatedly until she died, thinking she was Ivar (Alex Høgh Andersen). 

Recalling the time when she first joined the show, Winnick said: “I had an idea that I was going to be there for the long haul.

“I did not know that my character was going to last till the end.”

Episode Airs This Friday — I Am Not Ready https://briefnews.eu/alex-trebeks-last-jeopardy-episode-airs-this-friday-i-am-not-ready/ https://briefnews.eu/alex-trebeks-last-jeopardy-episode-airs-this-friday-i-am-not-ready/#respond Sun, 03 Jan 2021 19:58:24 +0000 https://briefnews.eu/alex-trebeks-last-jeopardy-episode-airs-this-friday-i-am-not-ready/

On Friday, Jan. 8, legendary Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek — who died Nov. 8 after a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer — will make his final appearance on the iconic game show. I am definitely not ready to say goodbye.

While I appreciate the fact that Sony Pictures Television prolonged the inevitable by scheduling two weeks of curated reruns over the holidays (Trebek’s last airdate was originally slated for Dec. 25), I now find myself wishing and hoping for another continuance.

Trebek is partly to blame for the state of denial I find myself in. In the episodes that aired immediately following his death, I found myself hyper-attuned to his physical and mental state, searching for clues that he was nearing the end of his cancer battle. But with each passing pre-taped episode, I found none.

As podcaster/comedian/onetime Jeopardy! contestant Louis Virtel so acutely observed on Twitter in early December, “Is anyone tabulating the emotional toll of watching Alex Trebek still do a tremendous job and tell us ‘See you next time!’ every night? It’s comforting and gutting every single time.”

Unlike Virtel and so many longtime Trebek acolytes, my affection for the TV legend does not date back to my childhood. I did not watch Jeopardy! as a kid. Or even as a young adult. Sure, I caught the occasional episode — typically while visiting my maternal grandparents, who never missed Jeopardy! or time slot sidekick Wheel of Fortune. But it was by no means a steady part of my TV repertoire.

That changed in 2014 when my husband’s own battle with cancer neared its conclusion. His parents were staying with us and every night the four of us would gather to watch Jeopardy! and Wheel. The routine proved to be an essential crisis panacea.

I turned to the soothing syndicated elixir again this past spring when the Trump-inflamed collision of COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd made for a perfect storm of anger, sadness and hopelessness. Amid a steady stream of apocalyptic New York Times email alerts, I could count on Trebek’s steady, wise, reassuring presence to calm my fraying nerves.

And to remind me of my intellectual blindspots.

It’s odd that I get so much pleasure from watching Jeopardy! considering I am so aggressively terrible at PLAYING Jeopardy! Sure, I tend to do well with the TV-themed categories, but if the topic concerns anything of actual importance — like world history or geography or who invented cotton swabs — I’m typically at a loss.

Of course, that never stops me from loudly and confidently solving every single clue Trebek reads aloud like a cut-for-time SNL skit. The question involves a war, you say? I’ll cockily provide the name of said war before a single contestant buzzes in. Will it be the correct war? No. Will I even be in the right hemisphere or even century? Eh, probably not. Will I bounce back from the humiliating setback quickly enough to attack the next clue with the same level of misplaced bravado? You betcha.

Jeopardy! EP Mike Richards has said that Trebek’s super-human powers will continue to be on full display in his final five episodes (the first of which airs this Monday), even though those episodes were shot less than two weeks before his death — and despite the fact that he was, as Richards acknowledged, “in pain” at the time.

Will we see glimpses of the suffering he thus far has so miraculously shielded viewers from? Selfishly, I hope not. If at all possible, I would very much like to remain in denial through his final Jeopardy! sign-off. The harsh reality can hit me at 7 pm on Monday, Jan. 11, when interim host Ken Jennings takes the stage instead of Trebek. I’ll hopefully be ready by then.

Former Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay is making headlines for declaring she’ll quit the franchise if it doesn’t address its lack of diversity — and now she’s explaining her stance.

In a blog post on her personal website on Monday, Lindsay — who vied for Nick Viall’s heart on Season 21 of The Bachelor before becoming the first African American Bachelorette in franchise history — began by saying being on The Bachelor “was a fun and fulfilling experience” and that she agreed to be the Bachelorette because “I wanted to be a trailblazer in this franchise to diversify the lead role.” But nearly four years later, she says, “we still don’t have the diversity that this show needs, and that our audience deserves.” (TVLine has reached out to ABC for a response to Lindsay’s comments.)

She added that on The Bachelor, “people of color become placeholders as the token person of color to add some flavor” to their seasons, and she also took herself to task for not speaking up enough: “I have not been loud enough on the deep-rooted, 18-year systemic problems in this franchise… I have come to the conclusion that if changes are not made on the inside and outside of the franchise, I will dissociate myself from it.”

Lindsay calls on the franchise to “cast leads that are truly interested in dating outside of their race,” take action to rectify the lack of diversity, hire more diverse producers “to make your contestants of color feel more comfortable,” stop creating “problematic storylines” for people of color and make a statement acknowledging the franchise’s systemic racism. To back up that last charge, Lindsay cites a number of quotes from producers and executives, including Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss admitting that the lower ratings for Lindsay’s Bachelorette season “revealed something about our fans.”

After pointing out that if the NFL can apologize for past mistakes, “the Bachelor franchise can most certainly follow suit,” Lindsay concluded by saying the upcoming best-of series The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever! “will weekly highlight the very thing that is wrong with this franchise.”

Team Flash, in this season’s (early) finale, scored a couple of wins — but also may have unknowingly suffered a great loss.

With Eva now out and about, suited up and gunning for her husband, and Mirror Singh still doing her bidding, Barry & Co. theorized that Carver’s wife will have to first content with the trio of Black Hole assassins. Ralph whips out the diamond Sue gave him, and Allegra picks up on some serious UV energy. She powers it up to project a “treasure map” that points them to a huge warehouse. There, Ralph and Barry find five guards who had been freshly stabbed to death by Mirror Singh. Caught about to torch the place, Singh explains that Carver knew his missus had been blasted into and trapped inside the Mirrorverse, hyet did nothing but profit off the tech she left behind.

Barry meets up with Carver at Jitters, to notify him that his wife wants to kill him, after which he explains the Mirrorverse thing. Carver reveals via video that he knew Iris had been pulled into that dimension, adding that there is probably nothing left of Iris to save after this long a time of neuro dissonance. Carver gets up and sniffs that he doesn’t need protection from the CCPD, though his face reveals that he is in fact anxious.

Hanging out at Carver’s snazzy home, Black Hole’s Sunshine, Ultraviolet and Hoshi disappear one by one, as Eva appears in reflective surfaces and pulls them in.  Team Flash meanwhile meets at the CSI lab to mull what Carver said about Iris’ mind possibly getting scrambled in the Mirrorverse. Having found his assassins disappeared, Carver shows up at to ask for federal protection. Mirror Singh arrives and offers to personally escort Carver, but he first pulls Barry aside to offer a trade — “let me take Carver away, and you’ll get iris back”. Bar is considering the deal when Nash uses a smoke bomb to create a distraction and teleport them all to STAR Labs.

After being schooled on the “dupes” that Eva has created, Carver offers up his panic room at McCulloch Technologies, explaining that his building can be swaddled in an ion field that will atomize anything that tries to enter. Everyone heads over there and begins to evac the place — and Ralph runs into Sue, now working for Black Hole as a means to kill Carver — when the Three show up as backup for Eva, having destroyed the ion field’s power source.

While Barry races to restore power, a massive melee breaks out in the lobby, pitting Ralph, Allegra, Nash and eventually Sue against the Three. Barry meanwhile runs into Mirror Singh in the sublevel basement, only to see the faux cop shatter and turn into Eva herself. Eva KO’s Barry with her laser cannon arm (!), and then confronts Carver inside his panic room by traveling through his computer monitor screen. Eva is about to hole-punch up the hubs with shards of her shattered office mirror when The Flash speeds onto the scene and takes the damage. A determined Evam, though, forces one giant shard through Barry’s shoulder (OUCH!) and into Carver standing behind him. As Carver dies, Eva invites Barry to ally with her, suggesting they are n the same side, but he isn’t having it. Though that probably would have been a good timer to pick Eva’s brain about getting Iris back?

Eva orders the Three to stand down in the lobby, The next day, she gives a presser where she claims she had been held hostage by an international crime syndicate, but her faithful husband found and saved her, only to get killed in the process. Regardless, she is resuming her role as CEO ASAP. What she failed to mention, which Ralph later infrims Sue of: pretty Ms. Dearbon has been framed for Carver’s murder, as blared from the CCPN front page! (See? With Iris off the clock, the Citizen gets scooped!)

Elsewhere, Barry bid a sad “goodbye for now” to Caitlin/Frost, who is off to get healed by Mama Snow…. Allegra and Nash made nice, after a gem he gave her to use during combat with UltraViolet saved their bacon…. and Cecile sprung a nice surprise on the team, when Joe walked in, freed of WITSEC. “Now let’s go save some people we love!” Joe cheered.

But is it too little too late? Because as seen in the season-ending bonus scene, though the real Iris had been making headway in terms of acclimating to the Mirrorverse and being able to use its tech to find Singh, it all became too, too much for her — and she began to crack and refract light, before “blinking” away… to where?

Lucifer Morningstar actor Tom Ellis was ecstatic when he announced the fifth and final season of the show on Netflix late last year. The actor could be seen screaming and jumping with joy, before smirking at the camera and adding: “See you in Hell.” Since then, however, fans have been speculating over whether there would be a sixth season after season four did so well.

Many rumours have come and gone, but none of which have been backed up with much evidence.

Until now, that is, as one of the Lucifer’s cast members seem to have dropped the news early.

Lucifer viewers have an eye for detail and have recently been keeping an eye on the show’s cast for any new announcements about this year’s new season.

And recently, Reddit user vmstewart posted a live Twitter video of Dr Linda Martin actor Rachael Elaine Harris speaking to fans in a live Q&A.

READ MORE: Lucifer season 6 cancelled: Has Lucifer been cancelled amid coronavirus filming shut down?

In the clip, Rachael nonchalantly says: “We have Lucifer season five, and we’re getting ready to do season six.”

This seems to be her real opinion, as Rachael wasn’t joking around with fans, nor was she attempting to make wild claims at the fans’ expense.

One viewer commented: “Dr Linda casually announcing Season 6 on live..?! This fandom really gets put on a rollercoaster ride!”

Another joked: “Linda: whoops.”

Meanwhile, one of the show’s assistant directors recently spoke out about season six as well, lending more evidence towards the potential of a new outing for the devil.

The director on the show – Katrina Gould – posted a photo of herself next to Lucifer actor Tom, who was dressed in his classic blue suit costume.

She captioned the image with a suspicious comment, saying: “It’s a bummer the world has gone crazy and we couldn’t end it the way it should’ve been ended, but there is always next season!”

The director added a winking emoji to the end of the comment, which may mean she was joking about the sixth season, but viewers were certainly convinced by her comments.

One fan commented on the image, saying: “Once all the mayhem has settled & the world is safe again, on with season 6 then!”

With Lucifer stuck in Hell at the end of season four, season five will surely focus on getting him back to Earth.

But with season six now apparently now on the horizon, what otherworldly events would force the demon back onto the streets of Los Angeles?

Lucifer season 4 is currently available to stream on Netflix.

The Arrowverse’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover is hurtling towards its conclusion — and if Oliver is going down, he’s going down swinging.

In a promo that debuted on Arrow star Stephen Amell’s Twitter feed on Friday night, we get a sneak peek at the crossover’s final two installments, with a hooded Oliver gearing up for “the ultimate fight” against the Anti-Monitor. Luckily, he has some back-up: “It’s time to get your friends,” he’s told, as we see the Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman and more joining in the climactic battle. (This comes after a pair of mini teasers centered on Oliver and Barry trickled out earlier this week.)

In Part 4 of the crossover, aka the Arrow episode (airing next Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 8/7c), Supergirl, Batwoman and the other Paragons will search for a way to escape the Vanishing Point, though “the futility of the situation is compounded by The Flash’s disappearance,” according to The CW’s official synopsis. “However, hope appears in the form of Oliver, who reveals that he has become something else.” Part 4 also reveals the origin stories for both The Monitor and Anti-Monitor.

Meanwhile, the logline for Part 5, a special Legends of Tomorrow episode that serves as the crossover event finale (airing the same night at 9 pm), simply teases, “Worlds lived, worlds died. Nothing will ever be the same.”

Daenerys Targaryen’s (played by Emilia Clarke) handmaiden Missandei suffered a brutal and untimely death on Game of Thrones.

The divisive final season of the HBO’s mammoth fantasy series saw the beloved character beheaded by the Cersei Lannister’s (Lena Headey) minion the Mountain in heartbreaking seasons.

The moment was arguably the catalyst for Daenerys’ descent into madness, and ultimate death.

And as the show hurtled to its final conclusion, fans were left with mixed feelings.

Now Missadei star Nathalie has admitted the end of the series was like “going through a breakup”.

The actress, who’s currently starring in the TV reboot of Four Weddings and a Funeral, revealed she was faced with some difficult feelings when the show came to an end.

Former Hollyoaks star Nathalie explained the emotions felt like ending a relationship, and as a result, she struggled commit to new roles.

“When that ended, it was almost like going through a breakup,” Nathalie began.

“When other shows had kind of come along… that needed a six-year option, I was like, ‘I’m not ready!’” she told Entertainment Tonight.

The star continued: “It’s like I’m still sleeping in my old boyfriend’s jumper at night.

“I’m not ready for a new jumper. I’m not ready to date again!”

“It was that sort of feeling,” the actress added.

Once the Game of Thrones final had aired, an overwhelming number of fans were disappointed with the outcome for their favourite characters.

With criticisms the Mother of Dragons had been “destroyed”, and confusion over why Jon Snow (Kit Harington) ended up losing his role as King of the North and guarding the Wall once more, it prompted an enormous petition.

More than 1.7 million fans signed the online document asking network HBO to reshoot the whole of the final season.

Most of the cast and crew praised and supported the final product, but Natalia Tena, who played Osha the Wildling, revealed she wasn’t happy with the series’ ending.

She shared: “The calibre of writing towards the end and the plots and everything that happens and how they wrapped it up compared to any other season, any other bit…

“It just feels like it’s been written by different people.

“It doesn’t make sense, for me,” the star added.
