Don’t forget the Metcalf CA test attack.

Exactly true, an while the Metcalf attack occurred in April 2013 , we didn't hear about it until February 2014.
Why didn't we hear security concerns ?
All that time the Feds kept the weakness of security of the electrical grid to themselves; this was but just one, well planned, physical attack at one rural substation.
What if there were multiple attacks, timed simultaneously, in a specific geographic region,
designed to crash the system where there is maximum draw, and attempt to take the entire system down.
Metcalf was a single physical attack that showed electrical vulnerability ; what if it was coordinated with a series of electronic hacking incidents as well .. /?
As we let larger numbers of foreign nationals with unknown agendas into the country, we increasingly lose the ability to defend areas of our utilities infrastructure
whether it be electrical, water, waste, communications, mass transportation ,or simple governmental administration.
Metcalf was a practice run to crash the Silicon Valley electrical system that proved that our infrastructure is vulnerable to attack and collapse.
