>> So are you saying there isn’t any way a hacker or hackers could take down a smart grid?
Dude, get real.
And understand that I’m *sympathetic* to your prepper mentality.
But hyperbole (a.k.a. “bullshit”) is not helpful to your cause.
As to your question: is there *any way* that hackers could quote unquote take down [all or part of] a smart grid? Sure. There exists the possibility.
But does a “smart grid” encompass all electrical distribution in the US? No. Not now, and not in three years.
Therefore, for that reason ALONE (and there are others), the ABSOLUTE NO-ROOM-FOR-EQUIVOCATING BREATHLESS STATEMENT that there is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CERTAINTY of a TOTAL (not partial) CATASTROPHIC FAILURE of the ENTIRE (not part, but all) POWER INFRASTRUCTURE within a definite time period — THREE YEARS — is hyperbole. Which is what I said earlier.
AKA bullshit.
You do your cause NO GOOD when you peddle BULLSHIT (aka hyperbole) as 100% Certain fact.
Think about it.

P.S. Will you be around in three years to apologize and walk this nonsense back if it DOESN’T come to pass? Just curious.
So a tree limb falls on a line in Ohio and knocks out power to the whole northeast and part of Canada, but a hacker gaining access to the grid couldn’t cause much of a problem?
