I agree that “they” are trying to make everything a crisis of such magnitude that ONLY the Federal government can help out or protect you. (Along with that protection comes the required taxes, of course.)
That being said, I work in the utility industry and there are real vulnerabilities in the national grid. I know of a few simple things that terrorists could do that would leave many people without power for awhile. Of course, I won’t disclose them, but the fact remains, terrorists have not seriously looked at or attacked the grid...yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see an attack soon.
_Jim says you are wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Please explain the logic why after 9/11 there was a rush to replace chainlink fencing with brick walls around the little substations so no one could see in.
Yes, I agree. I have friends that actually run power generation for the Southern Company. What you say is true and things must be done to update and improve the system but the government caused much of this.
