Puerto Rico rejoining Cuba as the canaries in the coal mine of power outage in the western hemisphere. I'll bet the countries along the old Soviet Union border with the west probably have similar percentages in terms of hours of grid power available.
We're definitely seeing the beginning of systemic blackouts and de facto rationing of energy as the poorer, marginal countries on the periphery of industrial civilization are triaged off the grid for political or economic reasons, or have the misfortune of being in the way of a climate or geologic disaster. Include also locations losing power courtesy of ongoing missile strikes and war related terrorism.
Of course as these places lose access to power, it's GOOD NEWZ for the places still wired up, since it will make their energy cheaper from demand destruction.
