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.

Actually, not as far back as 200 years: my grandparents didn’t have indoor plumbing or electricity until the mid-1930’s. Many people in my rural area still don’t have indoor plumbing…the pipes simply haven’t been laid in many hoots & hollars around here.

Better be protecting that well too. There would be thousands of desperate, hungry people looking to steal that bounty from right under your nose!
