Why not just retrofit some non-digital backup on utilities and train teams of people to come run the plants in the event of a cyber attack so they couldn’t be completely down for too long? Is that impossible? How did they work before computers?
My question is— if there is some massive event, what will happen to/with the army? Will they all just go AWOL and start looting? Or will we just have martial law?

This whole thing is BS. We all know the government has wanted control of the Internet. If they control the Internet, they control information.
I'm not poo-pooing the possibility of a cyber attack, I'm poo-pooing the governments concern.
Yes, a cloud is coming.

I can't answer your question, but I know this. The government is underestimating the intelligence of those they (are supposed to)serve.
