There are solutions or better ways of managing China Blackouts
You only need to start gas turbines. only 10 minutes one small button.
remove the cover and press.
100mw a pok occupies a small space.
no need to suffer. u can plan and do it better.

But fossil fueled-plants is not ideal. Best solution for China will be to have mass rollout of their 4th generation nuclear reactor that burns Thorium.
One advantage of such reactor is that it doesn't need water for cooling.
The other more reliable renewable energy source will be geothermal.



Sichuan is affected this round as I just read that hydropower makes up a staggering 80% of its energy source!

The installed capacity of hydropower in Sichuan Province accounts for more than 80 percent of its power supply, according to the report.
