Seems that some parts of Europe lost power this weekend.

Europe suffers worst blackout for three decades

either that info is wrong or the one I saw in the news.
our news said that center europe almost suffered large black out thanks to french ppl stealing everyone's electricity.

but, thanks to our nuclear power plants and the ones in the neighboring russia, we shall never be infected by the french power hogs.

The news in germany about that were consistent with the article doc linked to.
Is there a web source for the power-stealer theory, jooel?(i found none)

Hrrmm, seems like it wasn't interesting enough for swedish reporters. Checked some crappy sites and not a single word about it.

nah, went to finnish television news site and they had only the correct info.

but having inconsistent news is not uncommon.
specially the first broadcasts tend to be far away from the truth.
then there comes the stupid finnish news readers whom always add their own opinions as facts to the news.

anyways, now the subject is presented correctly at least on our Yle site (government own company)

This is not a matter of inconsistent, it's totally missing!
