To: null and void
Soviet Stratgy for Nuclear War, by Douglass and Hoebert (This book is a couple decades old.) said that the #3 target, after our own nuclear capability and military C3I is the power grid.

True. But in the course of trying to target sets #1 and #2, they'd hit so many targets in set #3 that the results would be similar to a deliberate attack against the grid.
