When FINAL BLACKOUT was written there was still a Maginot Line, Dunkirk was just another French coastal town and the Battle of Britain, the Bulge, Saipan, Iwo, V2s and Nagasaki were things unknown and far ahead in history. While it concerns these things, its action will not take place for many years yet to come and it is, therefore, still a story of the future though some of the "future" it embraced (about one fifth) has already transpired. When published in magazine form before the war it created a little skirmish of its own and, I am told, as time has gone by and some of it has unreeled, interest in it has if anything increased. So far its career has been most adventurous as a story. The "battle of FINAL BLACKOUT" has included loud wails from the Communists—who said it was pro-fascist (while at least one fascist has held it to be pro-Communist). Its premises have been called wild and unfounded on the one hand while poems (some of them very good) have been written about or dedicated to the Lieutenant. Meetings have been held to nominate it to greatness while others have been called to hang the author in effigy (and it is a matter of record that the last at least was successfully accomplished). The British would not hear of its being published there at the time it appeared in America, though Boston, I am told, remained neutral—for there is nothing but innocent slaughter in it and no sign of rape. There are those who insist that it is all very bad and those who claim for it the status of immortality. And while it probably is not the worst tale ever written, I cannot bring myself to believe that FINAL BLACKOUT, as so many polls and such insist, is one of the ten greatest stories ever published. Back in those mild days when Pearl Harbor was a place you toured while vacationing at Waikiki and when every drawing room had its business man who wondered disinterestedly whether or not it was not possible to do business with Hitler, the anti-FINAL BLACKOUTISTS (many of whom, I fear, were Communists) were particularly irked by some of the premises of the tale. Russia was, obviously, a peace-loving nation with no more thought than America of entering the war. England was a fine going concern without a thought, beyond a contemptuous aside, for the Socialist who, of course, could never come to power. One must understand this to see why FINAL BLACKOUT slashed about and wounded people. True enough, some of its premises were far off the mark. It supposed, for instance, that the politicians of the great countries, particularly the United States, would push rather than hinder the entrance of the whole world into the war. In fact, it supposed, for its author was very young, that politicians were entirely incompetent and would not prevent for one instant the bloodiest conflict the country had ever known. Further, for the author was no critic, it supposed that the general staffs of most great nations were composed of stupid bunglers who would be looking up their friends on the selection board when they should be looking to their posts and that the general world wide strategy of war would go off in a manner utterly unadroit to the sacrifice of efficiency. It surmised that if general staffs went right on bungling along, military organization would cease to exist, and it further—and more to the point—advanced the thought that the junior combat officer, the noncom and, primarily the enlisted men would have to prosecute the war. These, it believed, would finally be boiled down, by staff "stupidity," to a handful of unkillables who would thereafter shift for themselves. FINAL BLACKOUT declared rather summarily—and very harshly, for the author was inexperienced in international affairs—that the anarchy of nations was an unhealthy arrangement maintained by the greed of a few for the privileges of a few and that the "common people" (which is to say those uncommon people who wish only to be let go about their affairs of getting enough to eat and begetting their next generation) would be knocked flat, silly and completely out of existence by these brand new "defensive" weapons which would, of course, be turned only against soldiers. Bombs, atomics, germs and, in short, science, it maintained, were being used unhealthily and that, soon enough, a person here and there who was no party to the front line sortie was liable to get injured or dusty; it also spoke of populations being affected boomerang fashion by weapons devised for own governments to use. Certainly all this was heresy enough in that quiet world of 1939, and since that time, it is only fair to state, the author has served here and there and has gained enough experience to see the error of his judgment. There have been two or three stories modeled on FINAL BLACKOUT. I am flattered. It is just a story. And as the past few years have fortunately proven, it cannot possibly happen.

BLACKOUT It's a rainy winter's day in Cape Town. I wake up to find load shedding is happening. There was no warning, and I looked forward to breakfast with a close friend. Load shedding is our South African Electricity Utility, Eskom's name for planned power interruptions. It happens when more power stations are off than planned. I open my EskomSePush app, and there is no news. I load Twitter and look at the Eskom feed. No news. I go to the bathroom to wash and find no water pressure. I try to flush the toilet, which flushes but does not fill. How odd! I go snack something, and open the fridge for some butter or milk and discover that the fridge is a bit warmer than expected. The butter is a bit soft. How long have we been off, I wonder? I went to sleep at 9.30 pm and woke at 6 am, as usual. I look at my phone again and realize there is no signal. This usually only happens at Stage 4 or 5, and I think that maybe it's because the generators have run out of fuel. "Maybe we've been off since 1 am", I think. Then I notice the eerie silence. Normally during load shedding some people's burglar alarms go off as batteries start going flat. "Nothing?" I switch on my laptop, with its own battery. "No internet". I phone a friend across town, who is never off at the same time as me. He's also off! Then I phone my friends in other cities and they're also off. I start getting worried. I've been distracted recently by lockouts, the latest international war news, the newest possible pandemic, and I've just finished reading Vaccine Epidemic and Empire of Pain and I've been spending too much time in confusion wondering where fake news is coming from. Is it possible that these are half-truths? True some of the time, but not all the time? It's 7.30 am by now, and I can't get hold of my friend. I open my garage door manually, get the car out, and think that I'll meet my friend at the coffee shop. I get to the first big intersection and discover that those traffic lights, which always work, even during load shedding, are off, and traffic is beginning to build. I'm really getting worried now. I decide to go back home and pass my local shop. They have a generator but are in darkness. Candles burn and there's a big sign outside saying "50% off all cold and frozen food". I go inside to chat to my favourite Greek Grocer, who says "I've been here since 4 am to bake the bread, and we've been off the whole time. We're never off for more than two or three hours. And I woke up at 3.15 am for a shower and there was no pressure. I used our backup 500-litre tank, and luckily it's raining at the moment, so it's full, but it's still a hassle to go outside and fill up the bucket. It's 8 am and we've been off since at least 3.15 am when my phone alarm woke me. The other odd thing is that there's been no 4G or 3G or even cell phone signal the whole morning. And my office fibre line is down, and I can't get hold of my bank. The credit card machine isn't working and I can usually phone the bank for manual authorization, but that isn't working at the moment. Most of the people who shop here are my friends, so I've been writing invoices and my customers have been signing IOweYou's. What do you think is happening?" I say that I don't know but my friend across town is also off and my friends in Durban and Joburg, who still have Telkom lines, are also off. My friend and shopkeeper has just boiled some coffee on his gas hob (range) and is handing out steaming coffees and hot chocolate to a few of his friends and customers who are standing around. That's when it hits us all. (c)2022 David Lipschitz (P) 2022 David Lipschitz "The Last Blackout" is a suspense "literary-fiction" science fiction horror (fear) thriller. "An electrifying read that will shock you into action."

Coal fuels about 50 percent of US electricity production and provides a quarter of the country's total energy. China and India's ferocious economic growth is based almost entirely on coal-generated electricity. Coal currently looks like a solution to many of our fast-growing energy problems. However, while coal advocates are urging full steam ahead, increasing reliance on the dirtiest of all fossil fuels has crucial implications for the global climate, energy policy, the world economy, and geopolitics. Drawbacks to a coal-based energy strategy include: Scarcity - new studies suggest that the peak of world coal production may actually be less than two decades away. Cost - the quality of produced coal is declining, while the expense of transport is rising, leading to spiraling costs and increasing shortages. Climate impacts - our ability to deal with the historic challenge of climate change will hinge on reducing our coal consumption in future years. Blackout goes to the heart of the tough energy questions that will dominate every sphere of public policy throughout the first half of this century, and is a must-read for planners, educators, and anyone concerned about energy consumption, peak oil and climate change.

Son père avait été tué à Kiel, sur le môle. Son oncle était entré dans Hambourg aux commandes de son char. Sa mère était morte de faim dans les ruines de Londres, après l'assassinat du roi. Mais le lieutenant avait réussi à rester en vie. Il avait jeté ses décorations et ses galons dans la boue en faisant le vœu que tous les gouvernements s'effondrent et que toutes ces horreurs cessent. Pourtant la Troisième-Quatrième-et-Cinquième Guerre mondiale avait continué. Il y avait quatre ans que le lieutenant n'avait plus reçu d'appels radio : il n'y avait plus de pièces de rechange pour réparer les postes. Le monde n'était plus qu'une fosse commune où reposaient trois cent millions de cadavres. Le lieutenant, d'après ses ennemis, avait une façon presque vampirique de sourire et une expression de sérénité qui ne le quittait jamais. Il avait découvert que les émotions étaient plus dangereuses que les balles. Ses hommes l'aimaient bien car il ménageait leurs vies.
