Greg tells us that one of his major concerns is is the fragility of our power grid and how we leave it open to attack. This is not without reason. There have been attacks on the power grid in the USA in the past.
Here is an example:
Metcalf sniper attack: In April 2013, a single unknown attacker fired more than 100 rounds of ammunition into transformers at the Metcalf Transmission Substation in California, causing over $15 million in damage. This attack was considered to be a significant threat to the power grid, as the substation provided power to Silicon Valley and other parts of the San Francisco Bay Area.
International:
Ukraine power grid attack: In December 2015, a group of hackers, believed to be associated with the Russian government, launched a cyberattack on the power grid in Ukraine, causing a widespread blackout that lasted for several hours. The attack was carried out by compromising the computer systems of several energy companies, allowing the hackers to remotely control the power grid and shut off the electricity supply.
Not just deliberate attacks, the grid is also prone to natural disasters: Dallas tornado of 2019: In October 2019, a tornado struck Dallas, Texas, causing significant damage to the power grid in the area. Over 200,000 homes and businesses lost power, and some areas were without electricity for several days.
The best recent example wasn't just an inconvenient loss of power, but also result in substantial loss of life.
California wildfires: In recent years, wildfires in California have caused significant damage to the power grid, with high winds knocking down power lines and triggering blackouts. In 2018, the Camp Fire destroyed over 18,000 structures and caused 85 deaths, with some of the fires thought to have been caused by power lines owned by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E).
These are just a few examples of the past attacks and incidents that have affected the power grid in the USA. Imagine what an organize attack could do.
