What would happen under the circumstances of a cyberattack targeted towards America? Would people go Mad Max crazy? In Ted Koppel’s book “Lights Out” he explains that if the power grid were to go down due to cyberattack, it would go down for not only days, but for weeks or even months resulting in millions of people dying due to mass starvation.
Recently, National Security Agency (NSA) Director Admiral Michael Rogers warned listeners at a cyber-security conference that the threat isn’t a matter of “if“ it will happen, but “when.“
He used the example in which hackers in Ukraine used the Black Energy cyber-weapon to knock out the lights on more than 200,000 people across the region.
While speaking at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, he warned the audience that this will not be the “last we are going to see of this.“

I don’t believe in fairy tales.
Thomas Carter Guess you don’t know how the power grid works either.
NSA should be Fully investigated.
I don’t care if the power grid goes ,I don’t use electric from a grid I generate my own with hydrogen,and have all my alliances shielded,and my truck has been converted to hydrogen fuel ,I use wood gas for refrigeration and it leads me back to I could care less about the grid.

So what have you don’t to protect yourself from the grid ? Are you waiting for someone else to fix it for you ,your gona have a long wait .
This has been ignored by all the powers that be for a long time.
There was a guy on Fox & Friends that said the very thing that this story is about!! He said we are so concentrating on NK having nukes that we’re not thinking about them causing this situation! He said it might be a year before it could be repaired, due to not having a supply of equipment to repair it!
Thomas Carter – sounds to me as hough you’re pumping a lot of$#%&!@*through your grid. You’ll do well after an EMP.
