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.“

The aging power grid is being upgraded as fast as humanly possible, in every state of the union! Renewable power sources are being built at a staggering rate. It is people’s lack of knowledge and abuse of the electricity that they use that will be our downfall. Personally I am happy that I produce my own power and pump my own water! If a cyberattack happened today, or tomorrow my family and I would be just fine! This is not a left or right wing thing. I am a very moderate person, with a plan A, and a plan B!
Your brain has been hijacked by f**e news. Check ALL sources. Pay more attention. Use your head.
You can’t secure the grid. Too large. Do a little research and learn something other than how to bash Trump.
They should have wiped out the federal reserve years ago. Why do you think this country is so far in debt and banks have gotten so big.
And the left makes fun of the preppers.
I can’t wait.
The point is the world is terribly overcrowded and this is the chosen remedy.
Hydroelectric right here fuckers.
Public utility commissions squeeze rates so low that only the bare minimum is available for maintenance and operation. Raising capital to build new facilities and getting regulatory approval to build is so expensive that the risk exceeds the reward. Capital goes to easier means of making a return with less risk. The yapping “environmentalists” will be tge cause of their own demise as they freeze and starve in the dark.
When I was a kid, schools taught us to get under our desks if we came under nuclear attack. Politics of fear mongering.
