Someplace I read or heard that the lead time on some of the replacement equipment (from China) is two years. But that could be a longer time if it’s a solar storm hitting the planet. And who says anyone would help us out anyway?

Exactly - this is where self-reliance wins out again.

The ultra-large transformers that we no longer make (and there are about 400 in service here) are all custom-made and have lead times of 18 months or so...in perfectly normal times with no conflict of any note to slow production and delivery down.
