The U.S. government has no contingency plan to deal with the massive sustained disruption of power that "could" occur as the result of a natural disaster or a terrorist attack delivered by, for example, ISIS, Iran, North Korea, etc, etc, etc.

Obama is busy dismantling our power grid everyday. From the war on coal and pushing useless renewables, to stymieing increases in base load capacity.

Of course they have no contingency plan. Both the rats and the repukes have zero interest in the future of America. Don’t believe me? Look at the debt clock. They’re here to make as much money as possible as quickly as possible, and screw the voters.

The lifespan of those utility pole transformers for each house is 50 years. The average age of the entire population of these transformers is 73 years old.

Worry about the easy stuff first, especially the crisis we create without anyone elses help.

Of course none of this work must have been “shovel ready”. That’s why the taxpayers spent over a trillion on something else whatever that something else was.

Its not a matter of if the grid is going down its a matter of when. Its either going to go down from overload problems after the EPA closes 292 power plants or one of these Iranian or Chinese hackers is going to get lucky one of these days. Or Blam is going to decide to go all in on guns and kick off CWII. The civilians will put the grid down just to screw up the govt jackboots. That’s just naming a few possibilities.

She missed the big one - the left wing using the EPA to shut down the coal plants.

People like Lois Lerner could be given guns and training and sent to protect these places...
