Yes the infrastructure can be rebuilt. The problem is that itbwill take months or even years to replace the 300 or so heavy transformers that form the backbone of the electrical grid. We don’t make them here—they are manufactured abroad to order, and it takes months of lead time to procure them. Six months with no power will devastate the U.S.

We need to obtain and deploy spares now.
