The report was written by a committee of experts. Fifty, I think.

How many are experienced power engineers who have the practical
ability to cut to the core and live to tell the tale?

     The committee studying the blackout is made up of representatives of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the
      Demographic Challenge (MITECO), the Presidency of the Government, the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of the
      Interior. Specifically, the Department of Homeland Security, the National Intelligence Centre, the General Staff and the
      National Centre for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure are involved.

      The blackout, which occurred on 28 April 2025, affected the Iberian Peninsula, including Spain, Portugal and Andorra, and
      extended as far south as France. The power outage caused disruptions to essential services such as hospitals, airports and
      telecommunications networks. The causes of the blackout are being investigated by this committee.

Whenever something like this happens, the politicians stall behind an
ever-changing smokescreen, and wait for the news media to be
distracted by a newer crisis. 

The key is if the actual problem is solved when the heat is off, or is
it simply kicked down the road, yet again.
