We’ve seen numerous articles over the last couple of weeks about “controlled outages”. We’ve been told about Brown Out vs Black Out but none of the news companies haven’t really explained very well what the differences are. I know I didn’t know there was a difference. So here like I said in the Hurricane 2022 video, we will look at and examine the differences.
Brownout - Partial electric.
Think of it as the company rationing electricity. According to the article, I will share that gives an easy-to-understand explanation, electricity is cut from 10% to 25%.
Blackout - Total darkness. Nothing works.
So which one is more livable. I would say Brownout would be more livable. Hell, it’s how we currently live. We don’t use the air conditioner unless it’s 85 or higher. Not happening. I don’t use the oven until Fall.
