We need to talk. Specifically, we need a national conversation about one of the most important challenges confronting our country, now much in evidence in the devastated Northeast.
As predicted, millions are struggling to get fuel, food, medical supplies, access to cell phone networks, transportation, etc. – all because there are widespread blackouts in the electrical grid. The good news is that power is being slowly restored. Hopefully, within a week or two this nightmare will be over.
But deliberate attacks on our vulnerable electrical grid using cyberwarfare or electromagnetic pulse could take it out for a year or more. Ditto intense solar storms. Millions of us won’t survive such a blackout and the loss of the infrastructures it supports. Hurricane Sandy makes clear that we have to act now to protect our grid.
