No Water, toilets, Airports, Hospitals, Veterinarian offices, Funeral homes, (bodies piling up) traffic lights, unrest in the ghettos, etc. What happens in jails?...

The GridEX II drill Nov. 13-14 will focus primarily on how governments will react if the electrical grid fails and, for instance, the food supply chain collapses.

Obama’s government? What could possibly go wrong.
I work for a power company and haven’t heard about this. We had a city-wide power outage about 11 years ago. Since we’re a southern city of almost a million people, there were almost no problems.
They’ll probably do this drill in the north so Holder’s People can get some new TVs and shoes.
Accumulate 1.7 BILLION rounds, build up DHS to TWICE the budget of the USMC and the same headcount, then POWER DOWN the power grid.
Hey, great thinking.
By the Prez who smuggled machine-guns to drug-dealers.
What’s not to like..?
subject to restrictions.)
Naahh, you see, uhhh, As I am heading us towards uhhh, another war, which uhhh, will probably lead to more terrorism here at home, uhhhh, you know, uhhhh, All the fault of the Republicans by the way... We’re uhhhh going to practice shutting down uhhhh, the power grid across MY nation...
...guys... the teleprompter went blank... Uhhhh, what am I supposed to say now...

the intermittent and unpredictable output of Wind farms and solar arrays are going to cause more problems to the grid than anything else.
Just wait until those “25% of electricity from renewable” mandates kick in
Remember, the Progressives ultimate goal is to get rid of 5.5 billion people. Using Agnda 21 plans, get the majority of the population crammed into large urban areas and then turn off the power which will cause food shortages, water and sewage problems which will cause disease, financial crash because computers are down, etc.
Heyyyy, my power grid went down when my “smart” meter cut the power to the house... DAT is an emergency. The terrorists manage the grid, folks.
Preppers’ PING!!
Or is it just a practice run to see if they could really pull it off?
The article makes a very important point about large transmission transformers. These are the behemoth ones you see in substations and near generating plants, the cost starts at $500,000 and goes up to several million each, and they aren’t kept in stock, and leadtimes run 6 months or more. Think about when the electrical grid infrastructure was really built-out in much of the country - it’s been post WWII in many areas, and that means the average age of these transformers is 50 years or more, which is their design life. So much of the grid is living on borrowed time as it is, and transformers fail primarily by overstress - a major surge results in breakdown that causes internal arcing and further breakdown. A runaway condition that destroys the transformer, and leaves a sizable population without power for a long time.
The power companies have enough spares on trailers to cope with the occasional isolated outage, but something on a massive scale will leave millions in the dark, along with their phones, internet, EBT and ATM machines, gas pumps, etc.
none, real men aren't afraid of the dark.
Cool! Obama’s sons will be noting the date on their calendars. Security systems will be down, yeehaw!
I read about this a few weeks ago. Yes, they will assume water and food delivery will stop.
It was some months ago when Homeland Security did a test after they had the power to shut down every TV and radio in the nation. After the test, they said they had to do a bit of adjusting, but it will work now.
The reason they gave for taking over everything (except ham radio, they couldn’t get that), is to be able to give us directions when something terrible happens. So, they shut everything off and Hussein will tell us what to do. Will they turn it all back on? That is when I bought a very good ham radio receiver.
Hussein stole my TV and radios and by God, he wasn’t going to stop me from listening in to ham radio.
If the grid goes out for a very long time, I’ll just be in my country of which I am President for Life. My country is my house and back garden - I own it and Hussein doesn’t and he can read my outside door mat which says, “BRING BACK A WARRANT”. No one gets in my Country unless the President of My Country says so and that IS ME. Hussein has a bunker to water and feed him - well, so do I in My Country.
I guess my new generator will get a good workout. We have plenty of food supplies, and lots of ammo, and it’s doubtful Obama’s children will get out to my neck of the woods.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

Good, but they should also order and store certain backup components locally (certain transformers, etc.). They should really reinstall older controls as backup insurance, too, and train personnel for those, just in case.
FYI Ping.
