The only good news is that there are multiple operators with multiple control systems. It isn't a monolithic control system that can be compromised in a single stroke. Diversity is good when it comes to making it hard to seize control

I love it when people snark to me how long it will take to pay for itself.

I might take this report more seriously, if the US government itself wasn’t forcing good coal-fired plants to shut down. This will more likely cause major disruptions in the future.

You watch: This will be the false flag operation the regime uses to impose martial law in October and confiscate our guns.

I live on
this peninsula where last year the Leftists attacked the power-line and killed the power because they hate people with money. Security had to be stationed to watch the main power-line.
Last week it rained really hard and turned off the power for a few hours. My neighbor was none-too-happy about that!

Electric companies who couldn't care less about spending more on security.A few years ago, long after 9/11, our eclectric company decided to take down the fences around substations... you know, chain link fences that you can see through and notice if someone was in there... and build tall brick walls around them so someone messing around the equipment could do so without anyone being the wiser.

This problem was clearly identified after 9-11. With even a mildly competent homeland security department this problem would no longer represent a significant current threat.
If NOTHING was done to reduce the risk between then and now I’d be surprised. However, I can easily see how NOT ENOUGH has been done.
(Sadly, it even seems possible that NOTHING was done. Either way, if we have a significant current problem then part of the blame lies with Bush as well as with Obama.)
