Rogers said he believed China along with “one or two” other countries had the capability to successfully launch a cyber-attack that could shut down the electric grid in parts of the United States.

Of course! The NSA, under Obama control, has been FAR more interested in data mining YOUR habits, wants, needs and political thoughts that they ever thought about the Chinese.....why, we don’t need to worry about the Chinese.....didn’t Obama bow to them at least twice?

Well in fairness we can also shut down theirs, and since they depend as much on the U.S. for buying their cheap crap as we depend on them for making it, I can’t help wonder why the NSA isn’t trumpeting the more realistic threat of the muzzies damaging the U.S. power grids.................oh wait.

Which is the greater threat to the US?

Chinese cyber attacks?

Or the dork in the Oval Office?

If China knocks out our grid about 90% of us will die within two years.

And that's a conservative estimate IMHO...

Rather than wasting time on the legalities of allowing an illegal servant class to flood our borders... for the benefit of liberal elites - maybe we should deal with this issue. Close the borders - and DEAL with real threats...

We are planning to install a solar system even though its expensive. I don’t want to spend 2-4 years boiling clothes in a pot over a fire in the backyard. :-)

Well, then let China start by damaging the NSA site in Utah.

China can shut down the United States.

If Obama doesn't already beat them to it.

Well, it can be fixed rapidly - at no point should any power grid control system have any interface to the Internet.

But why would China do this even if they could? They do expect their vast US Treasury holdings to be honored, after all...and that can't happen unless the lie is perpetuated.

Wood stove with 12 full cords of hickory for winter cold and a deep storm shelter for beating summer heat. Bed tanks an large capacity OEM replacement fuel tanks for the trucks put about 150 gallons of fuel in each. We keep a few Co2 60” tanks with a dry ice maker in the shop to keep the food in our chest type freezer from going bad. A whole house emergency generator plumbed to a propane farm tank will do for power if really needed.

Add about 12 months of stored food, a windmill for water if house well dies.

..... Unless an EMP event we’re pretty “amish analog” around here for basic needs.
