Everyone has a flashlight and extra batteries, right? How about water, food, and ammo?
If our power grid comes down blame our government for not hardening & upgrading.
20 year old story....refreshed...
If Russia wanted this access in the event of a future war, I could understand this, but why would the damage or screw with our grid now?
You can’t hack if it’s not on the worldwideweb. Who the fock made it vulnerable? Stupid fools.
IMHO, the Ruskies are just fooling around, testing, poking, probing, seeing what they can get away with.
Taking down just a small portion of our extremely vulnerable power grid will be devastating. Powers that be have known this for years but have done nothing much about it.
Lots of reading material on this. “One Second After” is a good one.
Try turning off the power to your house and turning off all the electronic devices (phones, etc.) for a weekend. It’ll be a real eye opener.

The sad thing is, if the Dems really cared about people, they would be voting to take measures to mitigate an attack on the grid, not trying to prove Trump “colluded” with the Russkis.
We can pray this does not happen.. for it would bring us to our knees... investigation, hate, would pale in comparison
Is that what happened to the power grid in CA?
Oh, that right, that’s totally mismanaged by the idiots running CA. Don’t do anything to increase power generation, just charge more dollars each year.
It isnt just Russia and it isnt just cyber risk...I remember years ago a tranformer (large one) being taken out by rifle shot, draining the oil and burning up works. Can be done from a distance. It seems to me that it was reported that taking out a dozen or so transformers, in the right places could bring down most or all of the grid nationwide!
