This week, a compelling wakeup call about the dramatic shortcomings of electric grids in countries around the world.

The Your Valuable Home Podcast presents a two-part interview with Mehdi Seyedmahmoudian, Professor of Engineering in the School of Engineering at Australia’s Swinburne University of Technology. Parts 1 and 2 center on the professor’s hypothesis about a weather-related phenomenon called “induced atmospheric vibration” being the root cause of tens of millions of people in Spain, Portugal and southern France experiencing a massive blackout in the spring of 2025. We also discuss, a significant, little-publicized blackout the professor personally experienced in Indonesia about the same time. In these two broad-ranging interviews, Professor Seyedmahmoudian also pinpoints factors that are straining grid capacities around the world and possible solutions that need not strain the budgets of central governments. Will the U.S. and other countries heed the call to address the shortcomings of their electric grids. We can only hope.  In this episode, Ron also completes the explanation of why he decided to drop American Home Shield.
