A newly-released intelligence bulletin, obtained by ABC News, reveals a plot involving the use of a drone to disrupt an electrical grid in Pennsylvania in July 2020.

Natural gas, hydro, nuclear and like it or not...coal...makes the wheels go round.
Solar and wind will never support the population.
True
“Solar and wind will never support the population.”
Never...
paping
hmmm....info just released. Incident occurred July 2020.
Get rid of the grid. The sooner the better. National security risk to be so dependent upon it.
Bkmk
Wow! The electrical grid is vulnerable. You know what we should do then? We should build more electric cars so we depend on electricity even more!
““Solar and wind will never support the population.””
Why can’t we use Coleman camp stoves with canisters of compressed solar power?
The ignorance of FR is astounding at times...
Just to make it clear, this story is completely unrelated to wind or solar power. And “get rid of the grid”...just SMH and walk away

I don’t remember the incident 2+yrs ago.
Been done before.
Operation Outward.
In the 50s & early 60s Boy Scouts, we used Coleman camp stoves and lanterns with very volatile White Gas. Coleman fuel or white gas produces vast amounts of deadly carbon monoxide. Somehow we survived it all.
“I don’t remember the incident 2+yrs ago.”
That’s the point. The drone crashed on top of a building. Which city or region in PA is not revealed in the article.
Depending on the size of the drone, there may have been no reason to report it even as a local incident in local news.
The incident was never known to the public until yesterday.
“Coleman fuel or white gas produces vast amounts of deadly carbon monoxide.”
That’s one good thing about tents: lots of ventilation.
“Been done before. Operation Outward.”
Operation Outward - Wikipedia
Operation Outward was a British plan during the Second World War to attack Germany by means of free-flying balloons.It made use of cheap, simple balloons filled with hydrogen. The balloons carried either a trailing steel wire to damage high voltage power lines by producing a short circuit or incendiary devices to start fires in fields, forests and heathland.
Should not have been released at all; don’t give people ideas - they have plenty of their own.
“Should not have been released at all; don’t give people ideas - they have plenty of their own.”
To your point (and from the article)-— odd rationale:
“Federal officials tell CNN they are distributing the intelligence bulletin now to “raise awareness about the incident and the general threat of drones to critical infrastructure.””
Who needs a drone? We’re doing the job ourselves using just solar and wind.
“The graphite bomb was first used against Iraq in the Gulf War (1990–1991), knocking out 85% of the electrical supply. Similarly, the BLU-114/B “Soft-Bomb” graphite bomb was used by NATO against Serbia in May 1999, disabling 70% of that country's power grid. After initial success in disabling Serbian electric power systems, the electric supply was restored in less than 24 hours. The BLU-114/B was again used a few days later to counter Serbian efforts to restore damage caused by the initial attack.
We should de-couple our “grid” but the system is based on the “purchase” of power from system to system. Harden the links against graphite and specifically EMP which a drone (one guesses) or drones may be able to release. Newt Gingrich was and is a real promoter of hardening against EMP. All modern vehicles with “computers” and needless technology— would all... quit running permanently.
Answer: keep a fully fueled (and fuel stock on hand with stabilizer in the tank) 1970’s vehicle with simple non- digital fuel sending.
