Power grid vulnerabilities are finally garnering some attention by government officials.
An electrical grid joint drill simulation is being planned in the
United States, Canada and Mexico. Thousands of utility workers, FBI
agents, anti-terrorism experts, governmental agencies, and more than 150
private businesses are involved in the November power grid drill.
The downed power grid
simulation will reportedly focus on both physical and cyber attacks.
The antiquated electrical system in the United States has been one of
the most neglected pieces of integral infrastructure.
The EMP Commission,
created by Congress, released a report in 2008 calling for increased
planning and testing, and a stockpiling of needed repair items.
The SHIELD Act,
which is stalled in Congress, is the first serious piece of legislation
in many years to attempt to address the vulnerabilities of the power
grid in. As previously reported by Off The Grid News, a recent American Society of Civil Engineers
(ASCE) report gave the power grid a “D+” when grading various pieces of
infrastructure and public services in the United States.
First signs are here, halting, glitches.. there are always first signs, I say prepare for a Market crash..
