The response was overwhelming, with approximately 100 megawatts (MW) of demand going offline within 60 seconds and 200 MW within five minutes. To put it in perspective, 100 MW can power about 120,000 homes, and 200 MW around 240,000 homes. One question that arises is whether a capacity market could have averted this situation. In a capacity market, payment is made for the availability of a specified electrical capacity, whether used or not. Despite these challenges, the upcoming completion of these natural gas facilities within the next 12 months is a crucial step to address short-term energy supply concerns.

For Russia's president, who is mired in a war, it was a chance to speak at length and deliver a world according to Putin narrative to a Western audience. During the more than two-hour-long interview, Russian President Vladimir Putin repeated his claims about why he launched what he calls Russia's 'special military operation' in Ukraine in 2022.

Garner, whose research focuses on Russian culture and the propaganda of war, said Carlson didn't challenge Putin with follow-up questions. It comes at a really bad time for Ukraine, and it is clever politics for Putin and his team.
