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.“

Seems to me that every state should be stockpiling enough foods that can last for yrs, country fokes knows how to survive, they can their own vegetables, has chickens, pigs and cows and knows how to live without electricity, I lived through two weeks without electricity in a snowstorm and we survived but I doubt city people would know what to do without their I phones and laptops
Ageing turbines and steam pipes are replaced, unless it’s a coal plant. Then maybe not.
