"The general public doesn’t need to know because there is nothing they could do about it."

This message was facilitated by a small PV solar power plant that costs far less, over time, than grid energy by the Kwh. I have no degree, license or other designated approval for learning to install the equipment (reason for low cost).

[Little disclaimer here: don't construe any of the commentary above as advice. Don't install or do any electrical work without either learning and referring to the National Electrical Code, being instructed in safety for electrical work or being supervised by a licensed electrician. Don't attempt to install a grid-tied system yourself without thorough knowledge of the NEC, electrical safety practices and experience. Pull a permit for any installation on the soil of and any buildings without wheels and mounted on your private property. If there's any doubt or local regulation against doing it yourself, have a licensed electrician do it for you. For off-grid systems, there are many books and much other documentation on installing PV solar systems and electrical safety. I'm not a lawyer. If you need legal a$$i$tance for being allowed to u$e your private property or build anything, contact a licen$ed attorney. I will not be held liable for any damages caused by what you do for yourself.]

OK you are not really proposing solutions for existing industrial and infrastructure control vulnerabilities.

Going off grid is not a solution for industrial and infrastructure control vulnerabilities.

That is what I’m getting at when I say “The general public doesn’t need to know because there is nothing they could do about it.” The general public doesn’t comprehend electrical infrastructure, that is the reason they cannot offer a coherent solutions for perceived vulnerabilities. The only “solution” the ignorant general public (not a criticism just the reality) has is to go off grid - if existing industrial and electrical infrastructure is destroyed by an attack what difference will that really make for the person who’s off the grid? What would life be like for that person? Believe me I’ve thought about it, and am capable of going off grid. I haven’t got to the point where I think that is a solution.
