We had the local substation go out for a week.
Now I’m prepared to handle a week [or more] of local power outage.
Nationwide? We’re screwed.
I can keep up to a 6 mo. local travel vehicle fuel tactical reserve. [ It’s now at ~7 weeks with no compound electrical generation usage included.)
The vulnerabilities are being identified and hardened.
The report talks about the path forward.
Considering the stakes involved, it has been insane not to address this threat before.
In 1950, the threat did not really exist, because we were not so interdependent.
Now we are, and we need to harden the infrastructure.
The more we make ourselves a hard target, the less likely an attack will come, and the more likely we are to limit the damage of an attack or natural disaster.
