Don’t Think Blackouts Only Happen in Movies, Our Country Needs to Expand Its Efforts in Renewable Energy as Soon as Possible, in the Not-Too-Distant Future Brazil Could Go Dark Due to Overload on the Energy Matrix.

It is worth remembering that in 2019 a blackout cut power to the entire Argentine continent and Uruguay, affecting tens of millions of people in an electrical failure that authorities consider unprecedented in its scope and that could have been avoided with investment in renewable energy.

The cause of the blackout in Argentina remained under investigation when power was largely restored to both countries. Much of Argentina was hit by heavy rain over the weekend, and the Uruguayan state utility, UTE, said that some systems were damaged by recent rains and still need to be repaired.

PDE – Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan to Prevent Blackouts

The main indication to prevent blackouts in Brazil is the PDE 2023, highlighting the fact that Brazil will be a major oil producer while maintaining a clean energy matrix.

The oil from Pre-Salt will make the country a major global producer and exporter in 2023, accounting for two-thirds of domestic production. Another important highlight is the significant share of renewable energy in electricity generation over the next 10 years.

It stands out, in the ten-year horizon, the significant growth of the wind power sector which should account for more than 10% of installed capacity in 2023, reflecting the competitiveness of this source in the ten-year horizon.

We Need to Improve Brazil’s Energy Recovery

For this to become real, Brazil needs to eliminate around 3,000 dumps, as they cause significant environmental damage, and it is necessary to replace these dumps with regional landfills.

Renewable energy generation from solid waste is also a significant increase in energy supply. With investments in the right places, Brazil can not only avoid blackouts in the near future but also become a sustainable country with an energy matrix composed of renewable energy.

We Need to Improve Brazil’s Energy Recovery

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

A company that drilled for oil has drilled 4.8 kilometers of rock in Utah and found a never-ending heat of 290 degrees — now it is building the world’s first next-generation commercial geothermal power plant, with 100 MW connected to the grid in June 2026.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

Foreign investment in telecom in Brazil rises to R$ 2.9 million in March, advances 8% over 2025, bringing the quarter to R$ 8.4 million and reinforcing international investment in 5G expansion, internet in remote areas, and the country’s digital modernization.

In Madrid, the Torres Colón defied engineering logic with 116 meters, 23 floors above ground, and top-down construction, in a project suspended by prestressed concrete and cables that transformed two inverted towers into an architectural icon.

A student created surgical sutures that change color upon detecting infections in real-time, using a simple chemical reaction to transform wounds into visual alerts and anticipate diagnoses before the problem worsens.

The world’s first car carrier for 10,800 vehicles is delivered in China, breaking a global record with 14 decks and over 50 km of vehicles lined up, and reinforcing the shipbuilding industry’s race for greener and high-tech automotive transport.

Russian ships carrying over 140,000 tons of diesel that were bound for Brazil diverted mid-journey and began supplying other countries amidst a global crisis, exposing the immediate risk to trucks, agriculture, and transport in the country.
