Adversaries to the US are capable of shutting down the nation’s electrical grid, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm admitted Sunday, saying that such cybersecurity attacks are “happening all the time.”

Granholm warned of the system’s vulnerabilities — amid an uptick of ransomware sieges — on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“Yeah, they do,” Granholm told host Jake Tapper when asked if foreign actors have the ability to make the power grid go dark.

“There are very malign actors who are trying, even as we speak,” she explained. “There are thousands of attacks on all aspects of the energy sector and the private sector generally.”

Biden’s order could let China control U.S. electric grid

Less than one week into office, President Biden already has put U.S. security at greater risk to Chinese and other threats.

There’s a rumor that Musk has access to Tesla cameras in the cars and likes to watch the rich folk misbehave, drinking, drugging and having sex. And he keeps copies.

“And what about tampering with an election???”

Elections are secure! Outsider companies ensure it! Trust the Democrats.

As for the grid, I keep barrels of water, gasoline and propane and kerosene stocks, and non-refrigerated foodstuffs. Canning more meat now, too. Oh, and there’s the ammo.

“...How long ago was “One Second After” written?..”

I think it was around 2009-2010 timeframe, but it summed it up pretty realistically, especially those on insulin...scary.

Just a suggestion.
