Oh ya, another government will protect us all from doom so give us more money and control over your life and we’ll make it all better proposal. Give me a break, this will be yet another Solydra type waste of money that will do nothing about the making of our electrical grid safe. Kind of like the TSA, they don’t make flying any safer but they sure do make it more of a pain in the A## and they spend a ton of your money doing it.
People should learn that the government is not here to help and demanding government action for things like this will only screw things up more and result in yet another little loss in our freedom.
If you are a survivalist and want to have spare electronics stuff stored away in the event of an EMP attack? Scrounge up all the old non working microwave ovens you can find. I have a replacement ECU for each of my vehicles, among other things stored away.
trapped_in_LA, you may be right about that. I’m not sure it bars private industry from the project, but it’s a good thing to think about.
