All this is getting my back up!! 
Me getting ready for power outages (well sort of). Actually just testing out my new power station.
Just plugged one of my little travelling fridges in, will leave it for 24 hours then note the battery level, switch it off and recharge the battery while the fridge gets back to ambient then repeat the whole thing using the 12v socket.
When running, the compressor in the fridge used about 25 watts apparently
If nothing else it will give me a good idea of which power outlet is most efficient.

And why will we be having Power Outages?
Here’s why…This is where our power is coming from at 11:00 an this morning…
The orange is Combined Cycle Gas Turbines…
The brown is basically Drax power station burning wood chips from Canada.
Who thought it was a good idea to invest all of your bill money in foreign companies, building foreign manufactured wind turbines and solar panels, that would supply enough power in the winter when you need it most, from wind turbines…No wind for the last week…And solar panels when we have less than 9 hours of sunlight.
And who thought it was a good idea to put a couple of million electric vehicles on the road that will need charging, and build a few Data Centres that will use more power and water than a small African country.
Oh, and by the way, we’re running short of water as well…What a surprise.
